Enactment of this legislation could cost the State Board of Education an estimated $35 - $46 million from the Income Tax Fund for the program requirements outlined in the bill. Funding will become available when automatic income tax deposits to the Public Education Economic Stabilization Restricted Account equal 11% of Uniform School Fund spending. After that point, up to 15% of year-over-year income tax revenue growth may be redirected to the program created in this bill until funding for that program equals 1% of weighted pupil unit (WPU) driven appropriations. In subsequent years, this amount would be included as part of the annual Minimum School Program inflationary adjustments.
