What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Revenue (DOR) to distribute excess sales

tax revenue collected from the local professional football stadium district to Brown

County and to the municipalities within Brown County. After the district certifies

to DOR that it has paid the district's bond obligations and fully funded reserves for

maintenance and operating costs, DOR must distribute 25 percent of the excess

revenue to Brown County to use for redeveloping the Brown County arena. Brown

County, however, may not spend the revenue without first adopting a resolution

specifying how the money will be used and how much money will be used. DOR must

distribute the remaining 75 percent of the excess revenue to the municipalities

within Brown County in proportion to each municipality's population compared to

the entire population of Brown County. The municipalities may use the revenue for

property tax relief, tax levy supported debt relief, or economic development. A

municipality, however, may not spend the revenue without first adopting a

resolution specifying how the money will be used and how much money will be used.
