Legislative Act Shrinks School Revenue From Fines
The State Auditor trimmed next year’s General School Revenue projection by 195000, due to a 1959 act that narrows net proceeds from fines paid to state for general school purposes. The act excludes lawful fees and jail operation costs, lowering the auditor’s estimate to 529700 for the new fiscal year starting July 1. Other fund sources include capitation taxes marriage licenses delinquent land sales and criminal court fines.
