 1     Amend Senate File 83, as amended, passed, and
 2   reprinted by the Senate, as follows:
 3     1.  Page 1, by inserting before line 7 the
 4   following:
 5     "Sec. ___.  Section 257.6, subsection 1, unnumbered
 6   paragraph 3, Code 1995, is amended to read as follows:
 7     A school district shall certify its actual
 8   enrollment to the department of education by October 1
 9   of each year, and the department shall promptly
10   forward the information to the department of
11   management.  The department of management shall
12   determine whether a district is entitled to an advance
13   for increasing enrollment on the basis of its actual
14   enrollment.
15     Sec. ___.  Section 257.6, subsection 4, Code 1995,
16   is amended to read as follows:
17     4.  Budget enrollment.  Budget enrollment for the
18   budget year is the basic enrollment for the budget
19   year.  However, if a district's actual enrollment for
20   a budget year is greater than its budget enrollment,
21   the district is eligible for an advance for increasing
22   enrollment as provided in section 257.13.
23     Sec. ___.  NEW SECTION.  257.13  ADVANCE FOR
24   INCREASING ENROLLMENT.
25     If a district's actual enrollment for the budget
26   year, determined under section 257.6, is greater than
27   its budget enrollment for the budget year, the
28   district is granted an advance from the state of an
29   amount equal to the product of one-fourth of its
30   regular program district cost per pupil for the budget
31   year multiplied by the difference between the actual
32   enrollment for the budget year and the budget
33   enrollment for the budget year.  The advance is
34   miscellaneous income.
35     If a district receives an advance under this
36   section for a budget year, the department of
37   management shall determine the amount of the advance
38   which would have been generated by local property tax
39   revenues if the actual enrollment for the budget year
40   had been used in determining district cost for that
41   budget year, shall reduce, but not by more than the
42   amount of the advance, the district's total state
43   school aids otherwise available under this chapter for
44   the next following budget year by the amount so
45   determined, and shall increase the district's
46   additional property tax levy for the next following
47   budget year by the amount necessary to compensate for
48   the reduction in state aid, so that the local property
49   tax for the next following year will be increased only
50   by the amount which it would have been increased in
