1 1 Amend House File 230 as follows:
1 2 #1. By striking everything after the enacting
1 3 clause and inserting the following:
1 4 "Section 1. NEW SECTION. 257.13 ON-TIME FUNDING
1 5 FOR NEW STUDENTS.
1 6 1. If a district's actual enrollment for the
1 7 budget year, determined under section 257.6, is
1 8 greater than its budget enrollment for the budget
1 9 year, the district may submit a request to the school
1 10 budget review committee for on-time funding for new
1 11 students. The school budget review committee shall
1 12 consider the relative increase in enrollment on a
1 13 district-by-district basis, in determining whether to
1 14 approve the request, and shall determine the amount of
1 15 additional funding provided if the request is granted.
1 16 An application for on-time funding must be received by
1 17 the department of education by October 1. Written
1 18 notice of the committee's decision shall be given
1 19 through the department of education to the school
1 20 board for a district.
1 21 2. If the school budget review committee approves
1 22 a request for on-time funding for new students, the
1 23 funding shall be in an amount up to the product of
1 24 one-third of the state cost per pupil for the budget
1 25 year multiplied by the difference between the actual
1 26 enrollment for the budget year and the budget
1 27 enrollment for the budget year. The additional
1 28 funding received under this section is miscellaneous
1 29 income to the district.
1 30 3. There is appropriated each fiscal year from the
1 31 general fund of the state to the department of
1 32 education up to six million dollars to pay additional
1 33 funding authorized under this section, which shall be
1 34 paid to school districts in monthly installments
1 35 beginning on December 15 and ending on June 15 of a
1 36 budget year. If the requests approved by the school
1 37 budget review committee exceed the appropriation in
1 38 this subsection, the payments to school districts
1 39 receiving approval for on-time funding shall be
1 40 prorated such that each school district approved for
1 41 on-time funding shall receive an amount of on-time
1 42 funding equal to the percentage that the on-time
1 43 funding received by the district bears to the total
1 44 amount of on-time funding received by all districts
1 45 receiving approval.
1 46 4. If the board of directors of a school district
1 47 determines that a need exists for additional funds
1 48 exceeding the amount provided in this section, a
1 49 request for supplemental aid based upon increased
1 50 enrollment may be submitted to the school budget
2 1 review committee as provided in section 257.31.
2 2 5. A school district which is receiving a budget
2 3 adjustment for a budget year pursuant to section
2 4 257.14 shall not be eligible to receive on-time
2 5 funding for new students for that budget year.
2 6 Sec. 2. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act, being deemed of
2 7 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment for
2 8 the purpose of computations required for payment of
2 9 state aid to school districts for budget years
2 10 beginning on or after July 1, 1997. This Act remains
2 11 in effect until the repeal of chapter 257 on July 1,
2 12 2001."
