  1  2 reprinted by the House, as follows:
  1  3    #1.  By striking everything after the enacting
  1  4 clause and inserting the following:
  1  5    "Section 1.  Section 8.59, Code 1997, is amended to
  1  6 read as follows:
  1  7    8.59  APPROPRIATIONS FREEZE.
  1  8    Notwithstanding contrary provisions of the Code,
  1  9 the amounts appropriated under the applicable sections
  1 10 of the Code for fiscal years commencing on or after
  1 11 July 1, 1993, are limited to those amounts expended
  1 12 under those sections for the fiscal year commencing
  1 13 July 1, 1992.  If an applicable section appropriates
  1 14 moneys to be distributed to different recipients and
  1 15 the operation of this section reduces the total amount
  1 16 to be distributed under the applicable section, the
  1 17 moneys shall be prorated among the recipients.  As
  1 18 used in this section, "applicable sections" means the
  1 19 following sections:  53.50, 229.35, 230.8, 230.11,
  1 20 405A.8, 411.20, 425.1, 425.39, 426A.1, 663.44, and
  1 21 822.5.
  1 22    Sec. 2.  Section 25B.2, subsection 3, Code 1997, is
  1 23 amended by striking the subsection.
  1 24    Sec. 3.  Section 25B.3, subsection 1, Code 1997, is
  1 25 amended to read as follows:
  1 26    1.  "Political subdivision" means a city, county,
  1 27 township, community college, area education agency, or
  1 28 school district.
  1 29    Sec. 4.  NEW SECTION.  25B.5A  UNFUNDED STATE
  1 30 MANDATES – EFFECT.
  1 31    1.  If, on or after July 1, 1997, a state mandate
  1 32 is enacted by the general assembly, or otherwise
  1 33 imposed, on a political subdivision and the state
  1 34 mandate requires a political subdivision to engage in
  1 35 any new activity, to provide a new service, or to
  1 36 provide any service beyond that required by any law
  1 37 enacted prior to July 1, 1997, and the state does not
  1 38 appropriate moneys to fully fund the cost of the state
  1 39 mandate, the political subdivision is not required to
  1 40 perform the activity or provide the service and the
  1 41 political subdivision shall not be subject to any
  1 42 liabilities or the imposition of any fines or
  1 43 penalties for the failure to comply with the state
  1 44 mandate.  However, this subsection does not apply to
  1 45 any requirement imposed on a political subdivision
  1 46 relating to public employee retirement systems under
  1 47 chapters 97B, 410, and 411.
  1 48    2.  For the purposes of subsection 1, any
  1 49 requirement originating from the federal government
  1 50 and administered, implemented, or enacted by the
  2  1 state, or any allocation of federal moneys conditioned
  2  2 upon the enactment of state law or rule, is not a
  2  3 state mandate.
  2  4    3.  For the purposes of subsection 1, a political
  2  5 subdivision or political subdivisions may appeal to
  2  6 the advisory commission on intergovernmental
  2  7 relations, created in chapter 28J, to determine
  2  8 whether or not any new activity, new service, or
  2  9 increase in service required to be engaged in by the
  2 10 political subdivisions of the state constitutes a
  2 11 state mandate and if it is a state mandate, to what
  2 12 extent the state has fully funded such mandate.
  2 13    4.  For purposes of subsection 1, beginning with
  2 14 property taxes due and payable in the fiscal year
  2 15 beginning July 1, 1997, the cost of providing the
  2 16 homestead property tax credit on or after January 1,
  2 17 1997, shall be fully funded by the state.  If on or
  2 18 after January 1, 1997, a state appropriation made to
  2 19 fund the homestead property tax credit is not
  2 20 sufficient to fully fund the credit, the political
  2 21 subdivision shall be required to extend to the
  2 22 taxpayer only that portion of the credit funded by the
  2 23 state appropriation.  The department of revenue and
  2 24 finance shall determine the portion of the credit
  2 25 which will be funded by the state appropriation.
  2 26    Sec. 5.  Section 425.1, subsection 1, unnumbered
  2 27 paragraph 1, Code 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  2 28    A homestead credit fund is created.  There is
  2 29 appropriated annually from the general fund of the
  2 30 state to the department of revenue and finance to be
  2 31 credited to the homestead credit fund, an amount
  2 32 sufficient to implement this chapter the sum of one
  2 33 hundred fourteen million dollars.
  2 34    Sec. 6.  Section 5 of this Act applies to homestead
  2 35 property tax credit claims filed for taxes due and
  2 36 payable in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1997."
