SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Triennial census of school population; sales and use tax distribution.  Eliminates the requirement that every three years a census of all school-age persons residing within each school division take place. Also eliminates all related requirements regarding appointment and compensation of persons taking census, agents, and census results. The bill also amends the procedure regarding sales and use tax distribution to localities so that distribution is based on an annual estimate of the school-age population of a school division done by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at UVA.  This bill also allows for up to $115,000 to be given to the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service to cover the cost of producing the estimate. This bill incorporates SB 557. This bill is identical to HB 669.
