 20  7    The general assembly declares that it is possible that a
 20  8 few large companies may be able to control all levels of the
 20  9 food chain, including production, because these companies own

 20 11 future, and finds this possibility to be a major threat to the
 20 12 independence and profitability of Iowa's agricultural
 20 13 producers.  To ensure public ownership of plant genetic
 20 14 material, all rights to the research products developed by the
 20 15 Iowa state university of science and technology's botany
 20 16 institute using state-appropriated funds will be made
 20 17 available to the extent practicable for commercialization, for
 20 18 the benefit of all Iowans, including Iowa's agricultural
 20 19 producers, through a public process which normally involves
 20 20 nonexclusive licensing of genes and germplasm.

 21 22 the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2000, and ending June 30,
 21 23 2001, the department of human services shall continue the
 21 24 supplemental disproportionate share and a supplemental
 21 25 indirect medical education adjustment applicable to state-
 21 26 owned acute care hospitals with more than 500 beds and shall
 21 27 reimburse qualifying hospitals pursuant to that adjustment
 21 28 with a supplemental amount for services provided medical
 21 29 assistance recipients.  The adjustment shall generate
 21 30 supplemental payments intended to equal the state
 21 31 appropriation made to a qualifying hospital for treatment of
 21 32 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255.  To the extent
 21 33 of the supplemental payments, a qualifying hospital shall,
 21 34 after receipt of the funds, transfer to the department of
 21 35 human services an amount equal to the actual supplemental
 22  1 payments that were made in that month.  The aggregate amounts

 22 10 provided in chapter 255 have been transferred to the
 22 11 department of human services as a result of these supplemental
 22 12 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall
 22 13 not, directly or indirectly, recoup the supplemental payments
 22 14 made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless an
 22 15 equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the department
 22 16 of human services by a qualifying hospital pursuant to this
 22 17 provision is transferred to the qualifying hospital by the
 22 18 department.
 22 19    If the state supplemental amount allotted to the state of
 22 20 Iowa for the federal fiscal year beginning October 1, 2000,
 22 21 and ending September 30, 2001, pursuant to section 1923(f)(3)
 22 22 of the federal Social Security Act, as amended, or pursuant to
 22 23 federal payments for indirect medical education is greater
 22 24 than the amount necessary to fund the federal share of the
 22 25 supplemental payments specified in the preceding paragraph,
 22 26 the department of human services shall increase the
 22 27 supplemental disproportionate share or supplemental indirect
 22 28 medical education adjustment by the lesser of the amount
 22 29 necessary to utilize fully the state supplemental amount or
 22 30 the amount of state funds appropriated to the state university
 22 31 of Iowa general education fund and allocated to the university
 22 32 for the college of medicine.  The state university of Iowa
 22 33 shall transfer from the allocation for the college of medicine
 22 34 to the department of human services, on a monthly basis, an
 22 35 amount equal to the additional supplemental payments made
 23  1 during the previous month pursuant to this paragraph.  A
 23  2 qualifying hospital receiving supplemental payments pursuant
 23  3 to this paragraph that are greater than the state
 23  4 appropriation made to the qualifying hospital for treatment of
 23  5 indigent patients as provided in chapter 255 shall be
 23  6 obligated as a condition of its participation in the medical
 23  7 assistance program to transfer to the state university of Iowa
 23  8 general education fund on a monthly basis an amount equal to
 23  9 the funds transferred by the state university of Iowa to the
 23 10 department of human services.  To the extent that state funds
 23 11 appropriated to the state university of Iowa and allocated to
 23 12 the college of medicine have been transferred to the
 23 13 department of human services as a result of these supplemental
 23 14 payments made to the qualifying hospital, the department shall
 23 15 not, directly or indirectly, recoup these supplemental
 23 16 payments made to a qualifying hospital for any reason, unless
 23 17 an equivalent amount of the funds transferred to the
 23 18 department of human services by the state university of Iowa
 23 19 pursuant to this paragraph is transferred to the qualifying
 23 20 hospital by the department.
 23 21    Continuation of the supplemental disproportionate share and
 23 22 supplemental indirect medical education adjustment shall
 23 23 preserve the funds available to the university hospital for
 23 24 medical and surgical treatment of indigent patients as
 23 25 provided in chapter 255 and to the state university of Iowa
 23 26 for educational purposes at the same level as provided by the
 23 27 state funds initially appropriated for that purpose.
 23 28    The department of human services shall, in any compilation
 23 29 of data or other report distributed to the public concerning
 23 30 payments to providers under the medical assistance program,
 23 31 set forth reimbursements to a qualifying hospital through the
 23 32 supplemental disproportionate share and supplemental indirect
 23 33 medical education adjustment as a separate item and shall not
 23 34 include such payments in the amounts otherwise reported as the

 27  7    257.11  SUPPLEMENTARY WEIGHTING PLAN.
 27  8    In order to provide additional funds for school districts
 27  9 which send their resident pupils to another school district or
 27 10 to a community college for classes, which jointly employ and
 27 11 share the services of teachers under section 280.15, which use

 27 13 or which jointly employ and share the services of a school
 27 14 superintendent under section 280.15 or 273.7A, a supplementary
 27 15 weighting plan for determining enrollment is adopted as
 27 16 follows:
 27 17    1.  REGULAR CURRICULUM.  Pupils in a regular curriculum
 27 18 attending all their classes in the district in which they
 27 19 reside, taught by teachers employed by that district, and
 27 20 having administrators employed by that district, are assigned
 27 21 a weighting of one.
 27 22    2.  SHARED CLASSES OR TEACHERS DISTRICT-TO-DISTRICT
 27 23 SHARING.
 27 24    a.  In order to provide additional funds for school
 27 25 districts which send their resident pupils to another school
 27 26 district, which jointly employ and share the services of
 27 27 teachers under section 280.15, or which use the services of a
 27 28 teacher employed by another school district, a supplementary
 27 29 weighting plan for determining enrollment is adopted.
 27 30    b.  If the school budget review committee certifies to the
 27 31 department of management that the shared classes or teachers
 27 32 would otherwise not be implemented without the assignment of
 27 33 additional weighting, pupils attending classes in another
 27 34 school district or a community college, attending classes
 27 35 taught by a teacher who is employed jointly under section
 28  1 280.15, or attending classes taught by a teacher who is
 28  2 employed by another school district, are assigned a weighting
 28  3 of one plus an additional portion equal to one times the
 28  4 percent forty-eight hundredths of the percentage of the
 28  5 pupil's school day during which the pupil attends classes in
 28  6 another district or community college, attends classes taught
 28  7 by a teacher who is jointly employed under section 280.15, or
 28  8 attends classes taught by a teacher who is employed by another
 28  9 school district.  A pupil attending a class in which students
 28 10 from one or more other school districts are enrolled and the
 28 11 class is taught via the Iowa communications network is not
 28 12 deemed to be attending a class in another school district for
 28 13 the purposes of this subsection and the school district is not
 28 14 eligible for additional weighting for that class under this
 28 15 subsection.
 28 16    School districts that have executed whole grade sharing
 28 17 agreements under section 282.10 through 282.12 beginning with
 28 18 the budget year beginning on July 1, 1993, and that received
 28 19 supplementary weighting for shared teachers or classes under
 28 20 this subsection for the school year ending prior to the
 28 21 effective date of the whole grade sharing agreement shall
 28 22 include in its supplementary weighting amount additional
 28 23 pupils added by the application of the supplementary weighting
 28 24 plan, equal to the pupils added by the application of the
 28 25 supplementary weighting plan pursuant to this subsection in
 28 26 the budget year beginning July 1, 1992.  If at any time after
 28 27 July 1, 1993, a district ends a whole grade sharing agreement
 28 28 with the original district and does not enter into a whole
 28 29 grade sharing agreement with an alternative district, the
 28 30 school district shall reduce its supplementary weighting
 28 31 amount by the number of pupils added by the application of the
 28 32 supplementary weighting in this subsection in the budget year
 28 33 beginning July 1, 1992, in the budget year that the whole
 28 34 grade sharing agreement is terminated.
 28 35    3.  WHOLE GRADE SHARING.  For the budget years beginning
 29  1 July 1, 1991, and July 1, 1992, in districts that have
 29  2 executed whole grade sharing agreements under sections 282.10
 29  3 through 282.12, the school budget review committee shall
 29  4 assign a weighting equal to one plus an additional portion of
 29  5 one times the percent of the pupil's school day in which a
 29  6 pupil attends classes in another district or a community
 29  7 college, attends classes taught by a teacher who is employed
 29  8 jointly under section 280.15, or attends classes taught by a
 29  9 teacher who is employed by another district.  The assignment
 29 10 of additional weighting to a school district shall continue
 29 11 for a period of five years.  If the school district
 29 12 reorganizes during that five-year period, the assignment of
 29 13 the additional weighting shall be transferred to the
 29 14 reorganized district until the expiration of the five-year
 29 15 period.  If a school district was receiving additional
 29 16 weighting for whole grade sharing under section 442.39,
 29 17 subsection 2, Code 1989, the district shall continue to be
 29 18 assigned additional weighting for whole grade sharing by the
 29 19 school budget review committee under this subsection so that
 29 20 the district is assigned the additional weighting for whole
 29 21 grade sharing for a total period of five years.
 29 22    4.  PUPILS INELIGIBLE.  A pupil eligible for the weighting
 29 23 plan provided in section 256B.9 is not eligible for the
 29 24 weighting plan provided in this section.
 29 25    5.  SHARED SUPERINTENDENTS.  For the budget years beginning
 29 26 July 1, 1991, and July 1, 1992, pupils enrolled in a school
 29 27 district in which the superintendent is employed jointly under
 29 28 section 280.15 or under section 273.7A, are assigned a
 29 29 weighting of one plus an additional portion of one for the
 29 30 superintendent who is jointly employed times the percent of
 29 31 the superintendent's time in which the superintendent is
 29 32 employed in the school district.  However, the total
 29 33 additional weighting assigned under this subsection for a
 29 34 budget year for a school district shall not exceed seven and
 29 35 one-half and the total additional weighting added cumulatively
 30  1 to the enrollment of school districts sharing a superintendent
 30  2 shall not exceed twelve and one-half.  The assignment of
 30  3 additional weighting to a school district shall continue for a
 30  4 period of five years.  If the school district reorganizes
 30  5 during that five-year period, the assignment of the additional
 30  6 weighting shall be transferred to the reorganized district
 30  7 until the expiration of the five-year period.
 30  8    If a district was receiving additional weighting for
 30  9 superintendent sharing or administrator sharing under section
 30 10 442.39, subsection 4, Code 1989, the district shall continue
 30 11 to be assigned additional weighting for superintendent sharing
 30 12 or administrator sharing by the school budget review committee
 30 13 under this subsection so that the district is assigned the
 30 14 additional weighting for sharing for a total period of five
 30 15 years.
 30 16    For purposes of this section, "superintendent" includes a
 30 17 person jointly employed under section 273.7A or section 280.15
 30 18 to serve in the capacity of a school superintendent and who
 30 19 holds a superintendent's endorsement issued under chapter 272
 30 20 by the board of educational examiners.
 30 21    6.  SHARED MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, AND LANGUAGE COURSES.  For
 30 22 the budget years beginning July 1, 1991, and July 1, 1992, a
 30 23 school district receiving additional funds under subsection 2
 30 24 or 3 for its pupils at the ninth grade level and above that
 30 25 are enrolled in sequential mathematics courses at the advanced
 30 26 algebra level and above; chemistry, advanced chemistry,
 30 27 physics or advanced physics courses; or foreign language
 30 28 courses at the second year level and above shall have an
 30 29 additional weighting of one pupil added to its total.
 30 30    7.  CALCULATION OF WEIGHTS.  The school budget review
 30 31 committee shall calculate the weights to be used under
 30 32 subsections 2 and 3 to the nearest one-hundredth of one and
 30 33 under subsection 5 to the next highest one-thousandth of one.
 30 34 To the extent possible, the moneys generated by the weighting
 30 35 shall be equivalent to the moneys generated by the one-tenth,
 31  1 five-tenths, and twenty-five thousandths weighting provided in
 31  2 section 442.39, Code 1989.
 31  3    c.  Pupils attending class for all or a substantial portion
 31  4 of a school day pursuant to a whole grade sharing agreement
 31  5 executed under sections 282.10 through 282.12 shall not be
 31  6 eligible for supplementary weighting pursuant to this
 31  7 subsection.
 31  8    3.  DISTRICT-TO-COMMUNITY-COLLEGE SHARING.
 31  9    a.  In order to provide additional funds for school
 31 10 districts which send their resident pupils to a community
 31 11 college for classes, a supplementary weighting plan for
 31 12 determining enrollment is adopted.
 31 13    b.  If the school budget review committee certifies to the
 31 14 department of management that the class would not otherwise be
 31 15 implemented without the assignment of additional weighting,
 31 16 pupils attending a community college-offered class or
 31 17 attending a class taught by a community college-employed
 31 18 teacher are assigned a weighting of forty-eight hundredths of
 31 19 the percentage of the pupil's school day during which the
 31 20 pupil attends class in the community college or attends a
 31 21 class taught by a community college-employed teacher.  The
 31 22 following requirements shall be met for the purposes of
 31 23 assigning an additional weighting for classes offered through
 31 24 a sharing agreement between a school district and community

 32  7    a.  In order to provide additional funding to school
 32  8 districts for programs serving at-risk pupils in secondary
 32  9 schools, a supplementary weighting plan for at-risk pupils is
 32 10 adopted.  A supplementary weighting of sixty-five ten-
 32 11 thousandths per pupil shall be assigned to the percentage of
 32 12 pupils in a school district enrolled in grades one through
 32 13 six, as reported by the school district on the basic
 32 14 educational data survey for the base year, who are eligible
 32 15 for free and reduced price meals under the federal National
 32 16 School Lunch Act and the federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966,
 32 17 42 U.S.C. } 1751-1785, multiplied by the budget enrollment in
 32 18 the school district; and a supplementary weighting of twenty-
 32 19 one ten-thousandths per pupil shall be assigned to pupils
 32 20 included in the budget enrollment of the school district.
 32 21 Amounts received as supplementary weighting for at-risk pupils
 32 22 shall be utilized by a school district to develop or maintain
 32 23 alternative programs or an at-risk pupils' program, including
 32 24 alternative high school programs, and shall be in addition to
 32 25 and not supplanting moneys appropriated in section 279.51 and
 32 26 moneys otherwise appropriated by law to supplement that
 32 27 funding.
 32 28    b.  Notwithstanding paragraph "a", a school district which
 32 29 received supplementary weighting for an alternative high
 32 30 school program offered by a community college for the school
 32 31 budget year beginning July 1, 1999, shall receive an amount of
 32 32 supplementary weighting for the next four school budget years
 32 33 as follows:
 32 34    (1)  For the budget year beginning July 1, 2000, the
 32 35 greater of the amount of supplementary weighting determined
 33  1 pursuant to paragraph "a", or one hundred percent of the
 33  2 amount received for the budget year beginning July 1, 1999.
 33  3    (2)  For the budget year beginning July 1, 2001, the
 33  4 greater of the amount of supplementary weighting determined
 33  5 pursuant to paragraph "a", or seventy-five percent of the
 33  6 amount received for the budget year beginning July 1, 1999.

 33 10 received for the budget year beginning July 1, 1999.
 33 11    (4)  For the budget year beginning July 1, 2003, and
 33 12 succeeding budget years, the amount of supplementary weighting
 33 13 determined pursuant to paragraph "a".
 33 14    If a school district receives an amount pursuant to this
 33 15 paragraph "b" which exceeds the amount the district would
 33 16 otherwise have received pursuant to paragraph "a", the
 33 17 department of management shall annually determine the amount
 33 18 of the excess that would have been state aid and the amount
 33 19 that would have been property tax if the school district had
 33 20 generated that amount pursuant to paragraph "a", and shall
 33 21 include the amounts in the state aid payments and property tax
 33 22 levies of school districts.  The department of management
 33 23 shall recalculate the supplementary weighting amount received
 33 24 each year to reflect the amount of the reduction in funding
 33 25 from one budget year to the next pursuant to subparagraphs (1)
 33 26 through (4).

 33 30 "c" or paragraph "e", Iowa Code 1999, for school based youth
 33 31 services during the budget year beginning July 1, 1999, such
 33 32 school district or consortium shall receive a total amount
 33 33 under this subsection of fifty thousand dollars for each of
 33 34 the budget years beginning July 1, 2000, and July 1, 2001.
 33 35 The department of management shall adjust the supplementary
 34  1 weighting of a school district or the school district acting
 34  2 as the fiscal agent for a consortium eligible under this
 34  3 paragraph in a manner to assure that the district or the
 34  4 consortium receives the total sum of fifty thousand dollars as
 34  5 guaranteed in this paragraph.  If the consortium elects not to
 34  6 continue a school based youth service program, the funds shall
 34  7 be distributed equally to the school districts in the
 34  8 consortium.  This paragraph is repealed effective July 1,
 34  9 2002, of budget years beginning on or after that date.

 34 11 NETWORK.  A pupil attending a class in which students from one
 34 12 or more other school districts are enrolled and which is
 34 13 taught via the Iowa communications network is not deemed to be
 34 14 attending a class in another school district or in a community
 34 15 college for the purposes of this section and the school
 34 16 district is not eligible for supplementary weighting for that
 34 17 class under this section.

 34 33 for purposes of the program by the general assembly, the
 34 34 commission shall pay a fee to the Des Moines university of 
 34 35 osteopathic medicine and health sciences medical center for
 35  1 the administration of the program.  A portion of the fee shall
 35  2 be paid by the commission to the university based upon the
 35  3 number of physicians recruited under subsection 4.
 35  4    2.  A forgivable loan may be awarded to a resident of Iowa
 35  5 who is enrolled at the Des Moines university of  osteopathic
