  1 26 infrastructure purposes under chapter 422E shall
  1 27 receive an amount equal to its guaranteed school
  1 28 infrastructure amount as calculated under subsection 2
  1 29 if the board of directors notifies the director of
  1 30 revenue and finance that the school district wants to
  1 31 receive its guaranteed school infrastructure amount.
  1 32 The notification shall be provided by July 1, 2002.
  1 33 If notification is not received by July 1, 2002, the
  1 34 school district shall receive moneys pursuant to
  1 35 paragraph "b".  Nothing in this chapter shall prevent
  1 36 a school district from using its guaranteed school
  1 37 infrastructure amount to pay principal and interest on
  1 38 obligations issued pursuant to section 422E.4.
  1 39    (2)  A school district receiving moneys pursuant to

  1 47 A school district may adopt a plan, as provided in

  2  9 pursuant to paragraph "a" shall be distributed to
  2 10 school districts not receiving moneys under paragraph
  2 11 "a" on a per student basis calculated by the director

  2 13 available during the fiscal year by the combined
  2 14 actual enrollment for all school districts receiving
  2 15 distributions under this paragraph.
  2 16    (2)  The combined actual enrollment for school
  2 17 districts, for purposes of subparagraph (1), shall be
  2 18 calculated by adding together the actual enrollment

  3  7 county taxable sales percentage divided by the base

  5 44    Sec.    .  NEW SECTION.  297A.3  BONDING.
  5 45    A school district may issue bonds as provided in
  5 46 this section if it complies with all of the following
  5 47 procedures:
  5 48    1.  A school district may institute proceedings for
  5 49 the issuance of bonds by causing a notice of the
  5 50 proposal to issue the bonds, including a statement of
  6  1 the amount and purpose of the bonds, and the right of
  6  2 voters to petition for an election, to be published at
  6  3 least once in a newspaper of general circulation
  6  4 within the school district at least ten days prior to
  6  5 the meeting at which it is proposed to take action for
  6  6 the issuance of the bonds.
  6  7    If at any time before the date fixed for taking
  6  8 action for the issuance of the bonds, a petition is
  6  9 filed signed by five percent of the registered voters
  6 10 of the school district, asking that the question of
  6 11 issuing the bonds be submitted to the registered
  6 12 voters, the board of directors shall either by
  6 13 resolution declare the proposal to issue the bonds to
  6 14 be abandoned or shall direct the county commissioner
  6 15 of elections to call a special election upon the
  6 16 question of issuing the bonds.  The proposition of
  6 17 issuing bonds under this section is not approved
  6 18 unless the vote in favor of the proposition is equal
  6 19 to at least sixty percent of the vote cast.  If a
  6 20 petition is not filed, or if a petition is filed and
  6 21 the proposition of issuing the bonds is approved at an
  6 22 election, the board of directors may proceed with the
  6 23 authorization and issuance of the bonds.  Bonds may be
  6 24 issued for the purpose of refunding outstanding and
  6 25 previously issued bonds under this section without
  6 26 otherwise complying with the provisions of this
  6 27 section.
  6 28    2.  The provisions of chapter 76 apply to the bonds
  6 29 payable as provided in this subsection, except that
  6 30 the mandatory levy to be assessed pursuant to section
  6 31 76.2 shall be at a rate to generate an amount which
  6 32 together with the receipts from the pledged designated
  6 33 portion of the school district's amount received from
  6 34 the school district sales and use tax fund under
  6 35 section 297A.1 is sufficient to pay the interest and
  6 36 principal on the bonds.  All amounts collected as a
  6 37 result of the levy assessed pursuant to section 76.2
  6 38 and paid out for bond principal and interest shall be
  6 39 repaid to the school district from the first available
  6 40 designated portion of the school district's amount
  6 41 received from the school district sales and use tax
  6 42 fund under section 297A.1 received in excess of the
  6 43 requirement for the payment of the principal and
  6 44 interest of the bonds and when repaid shall be applied
  6 45 in reduction of property taxes.  The amount of bonds
  6 46 which may be issued under section 76.3 shall be the
  6 47 amount which could be retired from the actual
  6 48 collections of the designated portions of the school
  6 49 district's amount received from the school district
  6 50 sales and use tax fund under section 297A.1 for the
  7  1 last four calendar quarters, as certified by the
  7  2 director of revenue and finance.  The amount of tax
  7  3 revenues pledged jointly by other cities or counties
  7  4 may be considered for the purpose of determining the
  7  5 amount of bonds which may be issued.
  7  6    3.  The provisions of this section constitute
  7  7 separate authorization for the issuance of bonds and
  7  8 shall prevail in the event of conflict with any other
  7  9 provisions of state law limiting the amount of bonds
  7 10 which may be issued or the source of payment of the
  7 11 bonds.  Bonds issued under this section shall not
  7 12 limit or restrict the authority of the school district
  7 13 to issue bonds under other provisions of state law.
  7 14    Sec.    .  NEW SECTION.  297A.4  REPEAL.

  7 22 the school district sales and use tax fund under
  7 23 section 297A.1 does not equal or exceed the amount
  7 24 which would be produced by a levy of one dollar
  7 25 thirty-five cents per thousand dollars of the assessed
  7 26 value of the taxable property of the school
  7 27 corporation, the amount estimated and certified to
  7 28 apply on principal and interest for any one year may
  7 29 exceed two dollars and seventy cents per thousand
  7 30 dollars of assessed value by the amount approved by
  7 31 the voters of the school corporation, but not
  7 32 exceeding four dollars and five cents per thousand of
  7 33 the assessed value of the taxable property within any
  7 34 school corporation, provided that the qualified voters
  7 35 of such school corporation have first approved such
  7 36 increased amount at a special election, which may be
  7 37 held at the same time as the regular school election,
  7 38 and provided further that the school corporation's
  7 39 amount received from the school district sales and use
  7 40 tax fund under section 297A.1 shall be used to abate
  7 41 an additional levy amount authorized after July 1,
  7 42 2002.  A levy approved prior to July 1, 2002, shall
  7 43 continue to be authorized.  The proposition submitted

  8  3 per thousand dollars of the assessed value of the
  8  4 taxable property within said school corporation to pay
  8  5 the principal of and interest on bonded indebtedness
  8  6 of said school corporation, it being understood that
  8  7 the approval of this proposition shall not limit the
  8  8 source of payment of the bonds and interest but shall
  8  9 only operate to restrict the amount of bonds which may
  8 10 be issued and that the additional levy shall be
  8 11 reduced and abated in any year by the amount of money
  8 12 received from the school district sales and use tax
  8 13 fund under section 297A.1?
  8 14    Sec.    .  Section 422.43, subsections 1, 2, 4, 5,

  9 35 services, or use taxes shall not be levied on
  9 36 services, parts, or labor provided under optional
  9 37 service or warranty contracts which are subject to tax
  9 38 under this section.
  9 39    If the optional service or warranty contract is a
  9 40 computer software maintenance or support service
  9 41 contract and there is no separately stated fee for the
  9 42 taxable personal property or for the nontaxable
  9 43 service, the tax of five six percent imposed by this
  9 44 subsection shall be imposed on fifty percent of the
  9 45 gross receipts from the sale of such contract.  If the
  9 46 contract provides for technical support services only,
