What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that for the village of Oregon and the towns of Oregon and Rutland in Dane County, the base amount to which the 2026 levy increase limit applies is the actual levy for 2025. The bill specifies that this amount includes amounts levied in 2025 to pay for costs associated with a joint fire department or joint emergency medical services district regardless of whether those costs were properly included in the levy. The bill also provides that the levy increase limit for 2026 is not reduced to reflect any decrease in debt service in 2026 for debt related to a joint fire department or joint emergency medical services district.
