PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 257.13, subsections 1 and 2, Code 2001,
  1  2 are amended to read as follows:
  1  3    1.  For the school budget year beginning July 1, 2000 2001,
  1  4 and succeeding budget years, if a district's actual enrollment
  1  5 for the budget year, determined under section 257.6, is
  1  6 greater than its budget enrollment for the budget year, the
  1  7 district shall be eligible to receive an on-time funding
  1  8 budget adjustment.  The adjustment shall be in an amount equal
  1  9 to fifty percent of the difference between the actual
  1 10 enrollment for the budget year and the budget enrollment for
  1 11 the budget year, multiplied by the district cost per pupil.
  1 12    2.  The board of directors of a school district that wishes
  1 13 to receive an on-time funding budget adjustment shall adopt a
  1 14 resolution to receive the adjustment and notify the school
  1 15 budget review committee by November 1, 2000 annually.  The
  1 16 school budget review committee shall establish a modified
  1 17 allowable growth in an amount determined pursuant to
  1 18 subsection 1.
  1 19    Sec. 2.  Section 257.14, subsection 1, Code 2001, is
  1 20 amended to read as follows:
  1 21    1.  For the budget year commencing July 1, 2000 2001, if
  1 22 the department of management determines that the regular
  1 23 program district cost of a school district for a budget year
  1 24 is less than the total of the regular program district cost
  1 25 plus any adjustment added under this section for the base year
  1 26 for that school district, the school district shall be
  1 27 eligible to receive a budget adjustment for that district for
  1 28 that budget year up to an amount equal to the difference.  The
  1 29 board of directors of a school district that wishes to receive
  1 30 a budget adjustment pursuant to this subsection shall,
  1 31 notwithstanding the public notice and hearing provisions of
  1 32 chapter 24 or any other provision to the contrary, within
  1 33 thirty days following April 6, 2000, adopt a resolution to
  1 34 receive the budget adjustment and immediately shall, by April
  1 35 1, 2001, notify the department of management of the adoption
  2  1 of the resolution and the amount of the budget adjustment to
  2  2 be received.
  2  3    Sec. 3.  Section 257.14, subsection 2, Code 2001, is
  2  4 amended by striking the subsection and inserting in lieu
  2  5 thereof the following:
  2  6    2.  For the budget year commencing July 1, 2002, and
  2  7 succeeding budget years, if the department of management
  2  8 determines that the regular program district cost of a school
  2  9 district for a budget year is less than one hundred one
  2 10 percent of the regular program district cost for the base year
  2 11 for that school district, a district shall be eligible for a
  2 12 budget adjustment corresponding to the following schedule:
  2 13    a.  For the budget year commencing July 1, 2002, the
  2 14 greater of the difference between the regular program district
  2 15 cost for the budget year and one hundred one percent of the
  2 16 regular program district cost for the base year, or eighty
  2 17 percent of the difference between the amount calculated
  2 18 pursuant to this paragraph "a" and the budget guarantee amount
  2 19 for which the school district was eligible for the budget year
  2 20 beginning July 1, 2001, pursuant to subsection 1.
  2 21    b.  For the budget year commencing July 1, 2003, the
  2 22 greater of the difference between the regular program district
  2 23 cost for the budget year and one hundred one percent of the
  2 24 regular program district cost for the base year, or sixty
  2 25 percent of the difference between the amount calculated
  2 26 pursuant to this paragraph "b" and the budget guarantee amount
  2 27 for which the school district was eligible for the budget year

  2 32 regular program district cost for the base year, or forty
  2 33 percent of the difference between the amount calculated
  2 34 pursuant to this paragraph "c" and the budget guarantee amount
  2 35 for which the school district was eligible for the budget year
  3  1 beginning July 1, 2001, pursuant to subsection 1.
  3  2    d.  For the budget year commencing July 1, 2005, the
  3  3 greater of the difference between the regular program district
  3  4 cost for the budget year and one hundred one percent of the
  3  5 regular program district cost for the base year, or twenty
  3  6 percent of the difference between the amount calculated
  3  7 pursuant to this paragraph "d" and the budget guarantee amount
  3  8 for which the school district was eligible for the budget year
  3  9 beginning July 1, 2001, pursuant to subsection 1.
  3 10    e.  For the budget year commencing July 1, 2006, and each
  3 11 budget year thereafter, the difference between the regular
  3 12 program district cost for the budget year and one hundred one
  3 13 percent of the regular program district cost for the base
  3 14 year.
  3 15    For the purposes of this subsection, a school district
  3 16 shall be eligible to apply the sixty, forty, and twenty
  3 17 percent provisions in paragraphs "b", "c", and "d", only if
  3 18 the school district received a budget adjustment for the
  3 19 budget year beginning July 1, 2002, based on the eighty
  3 20 percent provision in paragraph "a".
  3 21    The board of directors of a school district that wishes to
  3 22 receive a budget adjustment pursuant to this subsection shall
  3 23 adopt a resolution to receive the budget adjustment and shall,
  3 24 by April 1, annually, notify the department of management of
  3 25 the adoption of the resolution and the amount of the budget
  3 26 adjustment to be received.
  3 27    Sec. 4.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  Section 2 of this Act, being
  3 28 deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.  
  3 29                           EXPLANATION
  3 30    This bill provides that for the school budget year
  3 31 beginning July 1, 2001, and succeeding budget years, if a
  3 32 school district's actual enrollment for the budget year is
  3 33 greater than its budget enrollment for the budget year, the
  3 34 school district is eligible to receive an on-time funding
  3 35 budget adjustment in the form of a modified allowable growth
  4  1 equal to 50 percent of the difference, multiplied by district
  4  2 cost per pupil.  This extends the current on-time funding
  4  3 provision in Code section 257.13 for additional budget years.
  4  4 The bill provides that in order to receive the on-time funding
  4  5 budget adjustment, a school district board of directors must
  4  6 adopt a resolution and notify the school budget review
  4  7 committee by November 1, annually.  Current law provides that
  4  8 a school district which determines that a need exists for
  4  9 additional on-time funding, beyond the on-time funding budget
  4 10 adjustment for which the district is eligible, can submit a
  4 11 request to the school budget review committee for additional
  4 12 modified allowable growth pursuant to the provisions of Code
  4 13 section 257.31.
  4 14    The bill also provides for an extension of the 100 percent
  4 15 budget guarantee provision currently in effect for an
  4 16 additional school budget year.  The bill provides that for the
  4 17 school budget year beginning July 1, 2001, if the department
  4 18 of management determines that the regular program district
  4 19 cost of a school district for a budget year is less than its
  4 20 regular program district cost with the budget guarantee
  4 21 provision for the year preceding the budget year, the school
  4 22 district is eligible to receive a budget adjustment up to an
  4 23 amount equal to the difference.  The bill provides that a
  4 24 school district board of directors that wishes to receive this
  4 25 budget adjustment shall adopt a resolution to receive the
  4 26 adjustment and, by April 1, 2001, notify the department of
  4 27 management of the adoption of the resolution and the amount of
  4 28 the budget adjustment to be received.
  4 29    The bill provides for changes with respect to the budget
  4 30 guarantee provision for the school budget year beginning July
  4 31 1, 2002, and succeeding budget years.  The bill provides that
  4 32 if the department of management determines that the regular
  4 33 program district cost of a school district for a budget year
  4 34 is less than its regular program district cost without the
  4 35 budget guarantee provision for the year preceding the budget
  5  1 year, the school district will be eligible to receive a budget
  5  2 adjustment of up to 101 percent of the regular program
  5  3 district cost for the year preceding the budget year.  This
  5  4 increases the budget guarantee amount from 100 percent to 101
  5  5 percent, but removes the provision that a school district is
  5  6 guaranteed an amount equivalent to its previous year's regular
  5  7 program district cost with the budget guarantee received in
  5  8 that year included.  The bill provides, however, that for the
  5  9 budget year beginning July 1, 2002, a school district shall be
  5 10 eligible to receive up to the greater of either the 101
  5 11 percent guarantee amount or 80 percent of the difference
  5 12 between the 101 percent guarantee amount and the budget
  5 13 guarantee amount for which the school district was eligible
  5 14 for the budget year beginning July 1, 2001, when the budget
  5 15 guarantee amount received in the prior year was included in
  5 16 the guaranteed amount.  The bill provides that this percentage
  5 17 is reduced each succeeding budget year, until for the budget
  5 18 year beginning July 1, 2006, a school district is eligible
  5 19 solely for up to a 101 percent guarantee if the regular
  5 20 program district cost for the budget year is less than the
  5 21 regular program district cost for the preceding year without
  5 22 the addition of the guaranteed amount for that year.  The bill
  5 23 provides that the option of utilizing the 60, 40, and 20
  5 24 percent provisions is available only if a school district
  5 25 utilized the 80 percent provision for the school budget year
  5 26 beginning July 1, 2002.  The bill provides that for the school
  5 27 budget year beginning July 1, 2002, and succeeding budget
  5 28 years, the board of directors of a school district that wishes
  5 29 to receive a budget adjustment shall adopt a resolution and
  5 30 notify the department of management of the adoption of the
  5 31 resolution and the amount of the budget adjustment to be
  5 32 received by April 1, annually.
  5 33    The bill takes effect upon enactment.
