Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend House File 2515, as amended, passed, and
  1  2 reprinted by the House, as follows:
  1  3    #1.  Page 14, by inserting after line 7 the
  1  4 following:
  1  5    "Sec.    .  Section 301.1, Code 2001, is amended to
  1  6 read as follows:
  1  7    301.1  ADOPTION – PURCHASE AND SALE – ACCREDITED
  1  8 NONPUBLIC SCHOOL PUPIL TEXTBOOK SERVICES.
  1  9    1.  The board of directors of each and every school
  1 10 district is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt
  1 11 textbooks for the teaching of all branches that are
  1 12 now or may hereafter be authorized to be taught in the
  1 13 public schools of the state, and to contract for and
  1 14 buy said books and any and all other necessary school
  1 15 supplies at said contract prices, and to sell the same
  1 16 to the pupils of their respective districts at cost,
  1 17 loan such textbooks to such pupils free, or rent them
  1 18 to such pupils at such reasonable fee as the board
  1 19 shall fix, and said money so received shall be
  1 20 returned to the general fund.
  1 21    2.  Textbooks adopted and purchased by a school
  1 22 district may, and shall, to the extent funds are
  1 23 appropriated by the general assembly, be made
  1 24 available to pupils attending accredited nonpublic
  1 25 schools upon request of the pupil or the pupil's
  1 26 parent under comparable terms as made available to
  1 27 pupils attending public schools.  If the general
  1 28 assembly appropriates moneys for purposes of making
  1 29 textbooks available to accredited nonpublic school
  1 30 pupils, the department of education shall ascertain
  1 31 the amount available to a school district for the
  1 32 purchase of nonsectarian, nonreligious textbooks for
  1 33 pupils attending accredited nonpublic schools.  The
  1 34 amount shall be in the proportion that the basic
  1 35 enrollment of a participating accredited nonpublic
  1 36 school bears to the sum of the basic enrollments of
  1 37 all participating accredited nonpublic schools in the
  1 38 state for the budget year.  For purposes of this
  1 39 section, a "participating accredited nonpublic school"
  1 40 means an accredited nonpublic school that submits a
  1 41 written request on behalf of the school's pupils in
  1 42 accordance with this subsection, and that certifies
  1 43 its actual enrollment to the department of education
  1 44 by October 1, annually.  By October 15, annually, the
  1 45 department of education shall certify to the director
  1 46 of revenue and finance the annual amount to be paid to
  1 47 each school district, and the director of revenue and
  1 48 finance shall draw warrants payable to school
  1 49 districts in accordance with this subsection.  For
  1 50 purposes of this subsection, an accredited nonpublic
  2  1 school's enrollment count shall include only students
  2  2 who are residents of Iowa.  The costs of providing
  2  3 textbooks to accredited nonpublic school pupils as
  2  4 provided in this subsection shall not be included in
  2  5 the computation of district cost under chapter 257,
  2  6 but shall be shown in the budget as an expense from
  2  7 miscellaneous income.  Textbook expenditures made in
  2  8 accordance with this subsection shall be kept on file
  2  9 in the school district.
  2 10    3.  As used in this paragraph subsection 2,
  2 11 "textbooks" means books and loose-leaf or bound
  2 12 manuals, systems of reusable instructional materials
  2 13 or combinations of books and supplementary
  2 14 instructional materials which convey information to
  2 15 the student or otherwise contribute to the learning
  2 16 process, or electronic textbooks, including but not
  2 17 limited to computer software, applications using
  2 18 computer-assisted instruction, interactive videodisc,
  2 19 and other computer courseware and magnetic media."
  2 20    #2.  Page 21, by striking line 21 and inserting the
  2 21 following:
  2 22    "Sec.    .  Sections 256.34, 260C.70, 301.29, and
  2 23 301.30, Code 2001, are".
  2 24    #3.  By renumbering as necessary.
