Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend the House amendment, S-3513, to Senate File
  1  2 459, as amended, passed, and reprinted by the Senate,
  1  3 as follows:
  1  4    #1.  Page 3, by inserting after line 24 the
  1  5 following:
  1  6    "Sec.    .  NEW SECTION.  257.14A  ON-TIME FUNDING
  1  7 FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION.
  1  8    Commencing with the budget year beginning July 1,
  1  9 2000, if a school district's additional enrollment
  1 10 because of special education determined by the
  1 11 district on December 1 in the budget year is greater
  1 12 than its additional enrollment because of special
  1 13 education determined by the district on December 1 in
  1 14 the base year, the school district is entitled to on-
  1 15 time funding from the state in an amount equal to its
  1 16 district cost per pupil for the budget year multiplied
  1 17 by the district's increase in additional enrollment
  1 18 because of special education.  The additional funding
  1 19 shall be miscellaneous income.
  1 20    For the purpose of this section, a school
  1 21 district's additional enrollment because of special
  1 22 education is determined by multiplying the weighting
  1 23 for each category of child under section 256B.9 times
  1 24 the number of children in each category totaled for
  1 25 all categories minus the total number of children in
  1 26 all categories.
  1 27    If a district receives additional funding under
  1 28 this section for a budget year, the department of
  1 29 management shall determine the amount of the
  1 30 additional funding which would have been generated by
  1 31 local property tax revenues in proportion to the
  1 32 amount of funding actually received pursuant to this
  1 33 section, if the additional enrollment because of
  1 34 special education in the budget year had been used for
  1 35 that budget year in determining combined district
  1 36 cost, shall reduce, but not by more than the amount of
  1 37 the additional funding, the district's total state
  1 38 school aids available under this chapter for the next
  1 39 following budget year by the amount so determined, and
  1 40 shall increase the district's additional property tax
  1 41 levy for the next following budget year by the amount
  1 42 necessary to compensate for the reduction in state
  1 43 aid, so that the local property tax for the next
  1 44 following year will be increased only by the amount
  1 45 which would have been increased in the budget year if
  1 46 the additional enrollment because of special education
  1 47 in the budget year could have been used to establish
  1 48 the levy.
  1 49    There is appropriated for the fiscal year beginning
  1 50 July 1, 2000, and each succeeding fiscal year, from
  2  1 the general fund of the state to the department of
  2  2 education, the amount required to pay on-time funding
  2  3 authorized under this section, up to a maximum of
  2  4 thirteen million dollars annually, which shall be paid
  2  5 to school districts in the same manner as other state
  2  6 aids are paid under section 257.16.  If the amount
  2  7 appropriated is insufficient to provide the full
  2  8 amount of on-time funding, the payments to school
  2  9 districts shall be prorated such that each school
  2 10 district shall receive an amount of on-time funding
  2 11 equal to the percentage that the on-time funding to be
  2 12 provided to the school district bears to the total
  2 13 amount of on-time funding to be provided to all school
  2 14 districts."
