Fiscal Note
HB0131 - School Fee Amendments
State Impact:
Enactment of this bill appropriates $13,100,000 from the Uniform School Fund to the Minimum School Program to offset estimated reductions in local feel revenue collected by school districts and charter schools. Bill provisions establish the School Fee Replacement Program within the Minimum School Program as a Weighted Pupil Unit driven program and assigns it 5,083 WPUs. Increasing the number of WPUs in the Minimum School Program also increases the cost of the state guarantee for the Voted and Board Leeway programs. This increase is estimated to cost an additional $203,100 from the Uniform School Fund and would be funded through the fiscal note process.
