What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill increases the revenue limit ceiling for school districts to $9,500 in the

2018-19 school year and to $9,900 in the 2019-20 school year and each school year

thereafter. This bill also provides an additional $34,200,000 to the Department of

Public Instruction in the 2018-19 school year for general school aids.

In general, a school district's revenue limit is a limitation on the amount of

revenue a school district can raise from general school aids, computer aid, and

property taxes. Under current law, the formula for determining a school district's

revenue limit does not apply to a school district with per pupil revenue that is less

than the revenue limit ceiling. Instead, the school district is allowed to increase its

per pupil revenue up to the revenue limit ceiling. The current revenue limit ceiling

is $9,100.
