AN ACT CONCERNING CALCULATION OF MINIMUM BUDGET REQUIREMENTS.

HB 5226 amends a state statute to exclude temporary or one-time funds (like one-time grants or special revenue) from counting toward the minimum state budget required for public education. This change directly affects how school districts calculate their state funding eligibility, as only ongoing, recurring General Fund revenues will now count toward meeting the minimum budget requirement. The key provision removes specific non-recurring revenue sources from the calculation formula used to determine if a district meets its state funding obligation. The bill aims to ensure that temporary funding sources do not artificially inflate compliance with minimum budget standards.
