| WV | Signed into law 03/2008 | Postsec. | Creates the Higher Education Energy and Water Savings Revolving Loan Fund proposed by the Governor. Through an initial investment of $7 million, it is anticipated that the higher education institutions will propose, and if approved for a loan, initiate projects that will result in significantly greater savings over time through reductions in energy and water usage. Projects will be considered for loans on a competitive basis and those offering the highest savings and quickest payback will be funded. Institutions would repay the loan with the dollars saved from reduced energy and water costs. Once the payback point is reached, subsequent savings would accrue to the benefit of the institution.

| ME | Signed into law 05/2004 | P-12 | The bill provides that by fiscal year 2009-10 the state share of kindergarten to grade 12 education funding, as described by essential programs and services, must be 55%. It also establishes a local cost share expectation for property tax years beginning on or after April 1, 2005. The Commissioner of Education shall annually notify each school administrative unit of its expectation. This expectation must decline over the period from fiscal year 2005-06 to fiscal year 2009-10. The expectation may not exceed 9.0 mills in fiscal year 2005-06. It may not exceed 8.0 mills in fiscal year 2009-10. The legislative body of a school administrative unit may not adopt a property tax rate that exceeds its mill expectation unless, in a vote separate from its adoption of the school budget, it votes to increase the property tax rate.
The bill also places transportation operating costs into the essential programs and services funding formula. It also states that special education costs will be included in essential programs and services starting in fiscal year 2005-06.
