Growth in local revenue decreases Education Fund amounts used to equalize the Basic School Program. This bill transfers the Education Fund savings into a newly created Minimum Basic Growth Account. Enactment of this legislation could increase the local property tax component of the Basic School Program by $75,000,000 annually. The result is a decrease in Education Fund expenditures used to equalize the Basic School Program equal to $75,000,000 annually.
