1. Reduce the amount of state aid payments to the district board in the school year in which the district board imposed the excess levy by an amount equal to the amount of the excess levy.

4. Ensure that, if a district board's excess levy exceeds the amount of state aid that may be reduced under subd. 1., the excess amount is subtracted from state aid payments in the following years until the total amount of the excess levy is subtracted from the state aid payments.
(d) The department may issue a finding that a district board is not liable for a penalty that would otherwise be imposed under par. (c) if the department determines that the district board's excess levy is caused by one of the following clerical errors:
1. The department, through mistake or inadvertence, has assessed to any county or taxation district, in the current year or in the previous year, a greater or lesser valuation for any year than should have been assessed, causing the district board's levy to be erroneous in a way that directly causes an excess levy.
2. A taxation district clerk or a county clerk, through mistake or inadvertence in preparing or delivering the tax roll, causes a district board's levy to be erroneous in a way that directly causes an excess levy.
(e) Except as provided in par. (bg), a district board may not impose a tax levy at a rate greater than 1.5 mills on the full value of the taxable property of the district under this subsection.
