Bill Summary

For legislation relative to the Municipal Revenue Growth Factor and school aid. Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law on the Municipal Revenue Growth Factor and school aid. Specifically, it limits the municipal revenue growth factor to 2.5% for certain school districts classified with the highest concentration of economically disadvantaged students, which did not receive new foundation aid and exceeded required net school spending in recent fiscal years. Additionally, the bill ties the municipal revenue growth factor to the maximum allowable percentage of taxes assessed in excess of the maximum levy limit, subject to voter approval. The bill's provisions have different effective dates, with Section 1 taking effect immediately and Section 2 taking effect upon the completion of the implementation schedule recommended by the Foundation Budget Review Commission.
