| NE | Signed into law 04/2002 | P-12 | LB 460 repeals current law that restricts the annual growth rate of allowable cash reserves of school districts to 2% of the total general
fund budget of expenditures. School districts must still adhere to the statutory cap that restricts allowable reserves to between 20% to
45% of the total general fund budget of expenditures based on the membership of the district. The repeal of the annual percentage increase in reserves may have a fiscal impact on the amount of property taxes levied and collected by some school districts. The state department indicates that only 27 of 263 Class II-VI school districts are at the maximum reserve percentage in 2001-02. It is unknown what budgetary decisions will be made by school districts that have the ability to levy additional property taxes for reserves. It is assumed that some districts, not currently at the levy limit, will increase reserves pursuant to the bill. This will have an unknown fiscal impact in terms of increased property taxes levied. http://www.unicam.state.ne.us/Legal/SLIP_LB460.pdf
