Bill Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 279.52, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code
  1  2 1999, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    The board of directors may pay the actual cost of an
  1  4 asbestos project from any funds in the general fund of the
  1  5 district, funds received from the physical plant and equipment
  1  6 levy, funds received from the additional enrichment amount for
  1  7 an asbestos project in section 279.53, or moneys obtained
  1  8 through a federal asbestos loan program, to be repaid from any
  1  9 of the funds specified in this subsection over a three-year
  1 10 period.
  1 11    Sec. 2.  Section 298.14, unnumbered paragraphs 1 and 2,
  1 12 Code 1999, are amended to read as follows:
  1 13    For each fiscal year, the cumulative total of the percents
  1 14 of surtax approved by the board of directors of a school
  1 15 district and collected by the department of revenue and
  1 16 finance under sections 257.21, 257.29, 279.54, and 298.2, and
  1 17 the enrichment surtax under section 442.15, Code 1989, and an
  1 18 income surtax collected by a political subdivision under
  1 19 chapter 422D, shall not exceed twenty percent.
  1 20    A school district income surtax fund is created in the
  1 21 office of treasurer of state.  Income surtaxes collected by
  1 22 the department of revenue and finance under sections 257.21,
  1 23 257.29, 279.54, and 298.2 and section 442.15, Code 1989, shall
  1 24 be deposited in the school district income surtax fund to the
  1 25 credit of each school district.  A separate accounting of each
  1 26 surtax, by school district, shall be maintained.
  1 27    Sec. 3.  Sections 279.53 and 279.54, Code 1999, are
  1 28 repealed.  
  1 29                           EXPLANATION
  1 30    This bill provides for the repeal of provisions authorizing
  1 31 the raising of an additional enrichment amount to fund
  1 32 asbestos removal projects.  Code sections 279.53 and 279.54
  1 33 currently authorize the levy of an enrichment property tax or
  1 34 combination of an enrichment property tax and income surtax
  1 35 for up to a five-year period to school districts involved in
  2  1 projects related to asbestos removal.  The bill repeals these
  2  2 sections, and deletes a reference to this form of funding in
  2  3 Code section 279.52.  Asbestos removal projects would continue
  2  4 to be able to be financed out of any funds in the general fund
  2  5 of a school district, funds received from the physical plant
  2  6 and equipment levy, or moneys obtained through a federal
  2  7 asbestos loan program, pursuant to Code section 279.52.
