What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill permits a school district to increase its revenue limit by an amount

equal to the greater of $40,000 or $100 times the number of pupils enrolled in the

district for the purpose of making certain school safety expenditures. As a

prerequisite to increasing its revenue limit for this purpose, the school board must

approve and submit to the state superintendent of public instruction a school safety

expenditure plan developed jointly by the school board and a local law enforcement

agency. The school safety expenditure plan must be consistent with the school

district's school safety plan. The revenue limit adjustment first applies to the

calculation of the school district revenue limit in the 2018-19 school year.

Current law generally limits the amount of revenue per pupil that a school

district may receive from general school aids and property taxes in a school year to

the amount of revenue allowed per pupil in the previous school year.
