 5     "Sec. ___.  Section 257.31, Code 1995, is amended
 6   by adding the following new subsection:
 7     NEW SUBSECTION.  17.  a.  If a district's average
 8   transportation costs per pupil exceed the state
 9   average transportation costs per pupil determined
10   under paragraph "c" by one hundred fifty percent, the
11   committee may grant transportation assistance aid to
12   the district.  Such aid shall be miscellaneous income
13   and shall not be included in district cost.
14     b.  To be eligible for transportation assistance
15   aid, a school district shall annually certify its
16   actual cost for all children transported in all school
17   buses not later than July 31 after each school year on
18   forms prescribed by the committee.
19     c.  A district's average transportation costs per
20   pupil shall be determined by dividing the district's
21   actual cost for all children transported in all school
22   buses for a school year pursuant to section 285.1,
23   subsection 12, less the amount received for
24   transporting nonpublic school pupils under section
25   285.1, by the district's actual enrollment for the
26   school year excluding the shared-time enrollment for
27   the school year as defined in section 257.6.  The
28   state average transportation costs per pupil shall be
29   determined by dividing the total actual costs for all
30   children transported in all districts for a school
31   year, by the total of all districts' actual
32   enrollments for the school year.
33     d.  Funds transferred to the committee in
34   accordance with section 321.34, subsection 18, are
35   appropriated to and may be expended for the purposes
36   of the committee, as described in this section.
37   However, highest priority shall be given to districts
38   that meet the conditions described in this subsection.
39   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Code,
40   unencumbered or unobligated funds transferred to the
41   committee pursuant to section 321.34, subsection 18,
42   remaining on June 30 of the fiscal year for which the
43   funds were transferred, shall not revert but shall be
44   available for expenditure for the purposes of this
45   subsection in subsequent fiscal years."
