HB 2862: School district fiscal notes

Preventing unfunded state mandates by requiring school district fiscal notes to identify revenue sources.

Summary

  • Requires that, for all legislation where a school district fiscal note is required, the Legislature must appropriate the funds identified as necessary to fund the local costs of the legislation, or identify the revenue source that is available to districts to fund the local costs to implement the legislation.
  • Provides that, if the legislation mandates any requirements that are a component of basic education, the Legislature may not rely on local levy funds or federal funds as a funding resource.
