What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides a minimum per pupil revenue limit for school districts,

known as the revenue ceiling. Under current law, the per pupil revenue ceiling is

$11,000 in the 2023-24 school year and each school year thereafter. Current law also

provides that, during the three school years following a school year in which an

operating referendum fails in a school district, the school district's revenue ceiling

is the revenue ceiling that applied in the school year during which the referendum

was held. The bill eliminates the provision under which a school district's revenue

ceiling is the revenue ceiling from a previous school year because an operating

referendum failed in the school district.
