WEAC Legislative Agenda Gets Early Attention

Several of WEAC’s Legislative Agenda items were among the first bills introduced in the new legislative session this month.

Four of five of the measures deal with exemptions from revenue controls. Two bills (Senate and Assembly companion bills) increase a school district’s revenue limit by the amount the district spends on school security measures.

Other bills change the way school district special assessments are treated under revenue controls, and increase a district’s revenue limit for debt service incurred to comply with an order issued by a court or by a state or federal agency.

The fifth bill makes technical college education eligible for the work requirement under the Wisconsin Works welfare program.
