EQUALIZED EDUCATION FUNDING IMPACT STATEMENT
 
80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
March 13, 2007

TO:
Honorable Rob Eissler, Chair, House Committee on Public Education
 
FROM:
John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1792 by King, Tracy (Relating to the limitation on the rate of school district enrichment taxes eligible for equalization under the foundation school program.), As Introduced

The impact of this bill on equalized funding requirements and policies affecting public education will depend upon local actions with regard to tax effort.  The bill would repeal a current law limitation on the amount of tax effort that may be equalized under the enrichment tier of the Foundation School Program.  To the extent that school districts opt to expand tax effort to levels that exceed the current law limit, additional local revenue may be equalized under Tier II of the Foundation School Program.
