What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill provides additional school aid in, and revenue limit authority for, the 2012-13 school year for certain school districts. The eligible school districts are those in which employees were covered by a collective bargaining agreement on January 1, 2011, that is in effect through the 2012-13 school year.
Under the bill, each eligible school district's revenue limit for the 2012-13 school year is increased by an amount equal to 50 percent of the decrease in the district's revenue limit in the 2011-12 school year. In addition, each eligible school district's state aid in the 2012-13 school year is increased by an amount equal to the amount of this revenue limit increase. The aid is paid as a first draw from the general school aid appropriation, thus reducing the amount of general school aid distributed to other school districts.
