AI Summary
This bill modifies how school districts calculate their revenue limits, which are the maximum amounts of money they can raise from local property taxes and state aid. Specifically, it adjusts the "per pupil adjustment," a factor used to account for changes in student enrollment. The bill removes a specific adjustment for the 2023-24 to 2025-26 school years and instead adds $325 per pupil for the 2023-24 through 2026-27 school years. It also clarifies that for school years beginning with 2020-21 and ending with 2026-27, the revenue limit calculation will be adjusted, and for the 2027-28 school year and beyond, a different calculation method will apply. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
