Overview
This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to establish expenditure limitations for community college districts and all school districts. It would adjust existing revenue calculations to reflect changes in student population and the cost of living, and create a process for determining these limitations. The legislature could authorize temporary exceptions to these limitations with a two-thirds vote, and the amendment would take effect starting in 2027.
Key provisions
- Establishes expenditure limitations for community college districts based on adjustments to 1979-80 local revenues, considering student population and cost of living.
- Creates a statewide expenditure limitation for all school districts, also adjusted for student population and cost of living.
- Allows the legislature to temporarily exceed these limitations with a two-thirds vote.
- Defines key terms such as ‘cost of living,’ ‘expenditure,’ and ‘local revenues’ to clarify the scope of the limitations.
- Specifies that certain revenues, including grants, tuition, and property sales, are excluded from the calculation of local revenues.
- Addresses adjustments for transfers of governmental functions and changes in district boundaries.
- Requires the legislature to establish a reporting system and penalties for non-compliance.
- Sets the effective date for the amendment to fiscal years beginning June 30, 2027.
