What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill establishes a temporary Shared Revenue Advisory Council in the Department of Revenue. The council is formed after each federal decennial census, and consists of the following members: 1) three senators, appointed as are members of the senate standing committees; 2) three representatives of the assembly, appointed as are members of the assembly standing committees; 3) a representative of the League of Wisconsin Municipalities; 4) a representative of the Wisconsin Towns Association; 5) a representative of the Wisconsin Counties Association; and 6) the secretary of revenue, or the secretary's designee.

The council must study county and municipal revenue and expenditure variations among different categories of counties and municipalities based on population, review and evaluate the existing formulas for county and municipal aid and supplemental county and municipal aid, make recommendations for a formula for county and municipal aid distributions to counties and municipalities, and submit a report to the legislature containing its review, evaluations, and recommendations. The council may not make a recommendation that decreases the total amount of county and municipal aid payments and supplemental county and municipal aid payments received by any county or municipality. The recommendations must take account of changes in the population and property values of counties and municipalities and include in the formula a component for distributing aid to compensate counties and municipalities that experience substantial decreases in property values. The bill also requires the council's recommendations to include in the formula a component that improves the equity of distributions among counties and municipalities compared to the formula for distributions effective for 2001 as affected by subsequent reductions in distributions, the formula for distributions effective for 2024, and any other formula for distributions established after the bill takes effect. The council must request that the Legislative Reference Bureau prepare legislation based on the council's recommendations and that the Legislative Fiscal Bureau prepare a fiscal analysis of that legislation. Also, under the bill, DOR must assist the council with its duties.
