Allocated Income Tax Funds

One of the major components of LB 1059 (1990) was to dedicate a portion of the state’s income tax revenue for public education.  The idea was to add at least some measure of local income to the state aid formula.  At one time, school district’s received a rebated amount of income tax funds proportionate to the income tax liability of the school district.  In 1996 the Legislature "capped" the amount of income tax rebate funds to the 1992-93 appropriation level (LB 1050).
