AB715,1,2
1An Act to amend 121.91 (7); and
to create 121.91 (4) (nm) of the statutes;
2relating to: revenue limit adjustment for school nursing services.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Prior to the enactment of the 2011-13 biennial budget act,
2011 Wisconsin Act
32 (Act 32), the total amount of revenue per pupil that a school district could receive
from general school aids and property taxes in any school year was limited to the
amount of revenue increase allowed per pupil in the previous school year increased
by the percentage change in the consumer price index. Act 32 decreased the revenue
limit adjustment for the 2011-12 school year, provided a $50 per pupil adjustment
for the 2012-13 school year, and eliminated the per pupil adjustment for the 2013-14
school year and every school year thereafter.
Several exceptions to the revenue limit exist under current law. For example,
if a school district increases the services that it provides by adding responsibility for
providing a service transferred to it from another governmental unit, its revenue
limit is increased by the cost of that service. Act 32 eliminated a revenue limit
adjustment available to a school district for the cost of employing school nurses. This
bill restores that revenue limit adjustment.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
