What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
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.
Under current law, a school district's revenue limit is increased by the amount the
school district spends on the energy efficiency project in a school year, including
amounts spent for debt service on a bond, note, or state trust fund loan used to
finance the energy efficiency project. This bill limits this school district revenue limit
adjustment to school districts that adopted a resolution to initiate an energy
efficiency project before the effective date of the bill.
