  1 16 MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT AND COMPUTERS RELIEF FUND.
  1 17    1.  The industrial machinery, equipment and
  1 18 computers relief fund is created.  There is
  1 19 appropriated annually from the general fund of the
  1 20 state to the department of revenue and finance to be

  1 25 million, eight hundred thousand dollars.
  1 26    c.  For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1998, one
  1 27 million, nine hundred thousand dollars.
  1 28    Moneys in the fund at the end of a fiscal year
  1 29 shall not revert to the general fund of the state,
  1 30 notwithstanding section 8.33.
  1 31    2.  a.  The purpose of the industrial machinery,
  1 32 equipment and computers relief fund is to provide
  1 33 funds to those taxing districts in which an increase
  1 34 in property tax revenue has not been realized as a
  1 35 result of the elimination of the property tax on
  1 36 property assessed pursuant to section 427B.17.
  1 37 Beginning with the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996,
  1 38 a taxing district may apply for funds under this
  1 39 section by filing an application with the director of
  1 40 the department of management not later than March 1
  1 41 preceding the fiscal year in which the funds will be
  1 42 distributed.  The state appeal board shall approve,
  1 43 disapprove, or reduce the amount of funds requested by
  1 44 the taxing district.
  1 45    b.  On forms provided by the department of
  1 46 management, the taxing district shall request an
  1 47 amount not exceeding the product of the decrease in
  1 48 assessed valuation for the fiscal year for which the
  1 49 application is filed compared to the assessed
  1 50 valuation in the previous fiscal year, as determined
  2  1 pursuant to subsection 3, and the property tax rate
  2  2 applied in the previous fiscal year, less any property
  2  3 tax replacement funds received pursuant to section
  2  4 427B.19A in the previous fiscal year.  The taxing
  2  5 district shall also submit with the application the
  2  6 district's plan to improve its future budget position.
  2  7    c.  Claims approved by the state appeal board shall
  2  8 be paid to the taxing district by October 1 following
  2  9 submission of the application for funds.
  2 10    3.  To be eligible to receive funds under this
  2 11 section, a taxing district must show that there has
  2 12 been a decrease of more than three percent in the
  2 13 assessed valuation for taxes payable in the fiscal
  2 14 year for which the application is submitted compared
  2 15 to the assessed valuation for taxes payable in the
  2 16 previous fiscal year, which decrease is attributable
  2 17 to the elimination of the property tax on industrial
  2 18 machinery, equipment and computers pursuant to section
  2 19 427B.17.  The taxing district, to be eligible for
  2 20 funds, must also show that the district has exhausted
  2 21 all other lawful alternatives for improving the
  2 22 district's budget position.
  2 23    4.  If the amount appropriated in this section is
  2 24 insufficient to pay all applications approved, the
  2 25 director of revenue and finance shall prorate the
  2 26 disbursements from the relief fund and shall report
  2 27 the amount of the shortfall to the director of the
  2 28 department of management.  By January 1 of the
  2 29 following year, the director of the department of
  2 30 management shall submit to the general assembly a plan
  2 31 for the funding of approved applications that were not
  2 32 fully funded in that fiscal year.
  2 33    5.  Amounts received pursuant to this section shall
  2 34 not be considered property tax dollars certified for
  2 35 purposes of the property tax limitation in chapter
  2 36 444.
  2 37    6.  The department of revenue and finance and the
  2 38 department of management shall adopt rules necessary
  2 39 to implement this section."
