State Government (UCA 36-12-13(2)(b)):
Enactment of this bill may increase the cost from the Education Fund to the Minimum School Program by $984,400 based on changes to the Charter School Local Replacement formula outlined in the bill. Currently, school districts pay 25 percent of their district per pupil local revenues towards the total cost of the local replacement. Enactment of this bill will increase the district contribution to 100 percent of per pupil local revenues based on the phase-in outlined in the bill. The state will continue to provide a replacement for the state average local property tax revenues generated in the districts, as well as, an average replacement for state property tax guarantee programs as outlined in the bill.
