  2 11 retardation, and developmental disability (MH/MR/DD)
  2 12 expenditures.

  2 15 The amendment incrementally increases the standing limited
  2 16 appropriation of $95 million in current law to $220.78 million
  2 17 over a three-year period beginning with fiscal year 1999-2000.
  2 18 In addition, language is stricken in the standing limited
  2 19 appropriation from the fund for purposes of medical assistance
  2 20 (Medicaid) that provides for a reduction in the amount
  2 21 distributed to counties and refers to a 50 percent
  2 22 appropriation target that is repealed by the bill.
  2 23    Code section 426B.2 is amended to strike a provision which
  2 24 requires the property tax relief fund distributions to
  2 25 continue until distributions are equal to 50 percent of the
  2 26 combined county base year expenditures for MH/MR/DD services.
  2 27    The bill takes effect upon enactment and is first
  2 28 applicable to county budgets developed for the fiscal year
