This bill limits the school district revenue limit adjustment for projects to implement energy efficiency measures or to purchase energy efficiency products (energy efficiency projects) to school districts that adopted a resolution before the effective date of the bill.
Current law generally limits the total amount of revenue per pupil a school district may receive from general school aids and property taxes in a school year to the amount of revenue received per pupil in the previous school year. However, there are several exceptions to the revenue limit under current law. Once such exception is for a school district that adopts a resolution to initiate an energy efficiency project.
