 6     Sec. 301.  NEW SECTION.  257.13  ON-TIME FUNDING
 7   FOR NEW STUDENTS.
 8     1.  If a district's actual enrollment for the
 9   budget year, determined under section 257.6, is
10   greater than its budget enrollment for the budget
11   year, the district may submit a request to the school
12   budget review committee for on-time funding for new
13   students.  The school budget review committee shall
14   consider the relative increase in enrollment on a
15   district-by-district basis, in determining whether to
16   approve the request, and shall determine the amount of
17   additional funding provided if the request is granted.
18   An application for on-time funding must be received by
19   the department of education by October 1.  Written
20   notice of the committee's decision shall be given
21   through the department of education to the school
22   board for a district.
23     2.  If the school budget review committee approves
24   a request for on-time funding for new students, the
25   funding shall be in an amount up to the product of
26   one-third of the district's regular program state cost
27   per pupil for the budget year multiplied by the
28   difference between the actual enrollment for the
29   budget year and the budget enrollment for the budget
30   year.  The additional funding received under this
31   section is miscellaneous income to the district.
32     If a district receives on-time funding for new
33   students under this section for a budget year, the
34   department of management shall determine the amount of
35   this funding which would have been generated by local
36   property tax revenues if the actual enrollment for the
37   budget year had been used in determining state cost
38   for that budget year.  The department of management
39   shall reduce, but not by more than the amount of the
40   on-time funding, the district's total state school
41   aids otherwise available under this chapter for the
42   next following budget year by the amount so
43   determined, and shall increase the district's
44   additional property tax levy for the next following
45   budget year by the amount necessary to compensate for
46   the reduction in state aid, so that the local property
47   tax for the next following year will be increased only
