 14 18    (2)  The governor has implemented the uniform reductions in
 14 19 appropriations required in section 8.31 as a result of

 14 24 actual receipts and accruals under subparagraph (1).

 14 26 end of the fiscal year prior to the appropriation made in this

 14 29 has notified the cochairpersons of the fiscal committee of the
 14 30 legislative council and the legislative fiscal bureau that the
 14 31 contingencies in subparagraphs (1) through (3) have occurred
 14 32 and the reasons why the uniform reductions specified in

 15  2 for a fiscal year, there is appropriated from the general fund
 15  3 of the state to the Iowa economic emergency fund for the
 15  4 following fiscal year, the amount of the appropriation made
 15  5 pursuant to paragraph "c".
 15  6    e.  Except as provided in section 8.58, the balance in the

 15  8 special account for the purposes of section 8.53 in
 15  9 determining the cash position of the general fund of the state
 15 10 for the payment of state obligations.
 15 11    Sec. 29.  Section 8.56, subsection 1, Code 2001, is amended
 15 12 to read as follows:

 15 14 The cash reserve fund shall be separate from the general fund
 15 15 of the state and shall not be considered part of the general
 15 16 fund of the state except in determining the cash position of
 15 17 the state as provided in subsection 3.  The moneys in the cash
 15 18 reserve fund are not subject to section 8.33 and shall not be
 15 19 transferred, used, obligated, appropriated, or otherwise
 15 20 encumbered except as provided in this section.
 15 21 Notwithstanding section 12C.7, subsection 2, interest or
 15 22 earnings on moneys deposited in the cash reserve fund shall be
 15 23 credited to the rebuild Iowa infrastructure fund created in
 15 24 section 8.57.  Moneys in the cash reserve fund may be used for
 15 25 cash flow purposes during a fiscal year provided that any
 15 26 moneys so allocated are returned to the cash reserve fund by
 15 27 the end of each that fiscal year.  However, the fund shall be
 15 28 considered a special account for the purposes of section 8.53.
 15 29    Sec. 30.  Section 8.56, subsection 3, Code 2001, is amended
 15 30 to read as follows:
 15 31    3.  The moneys in the cash reserve fund may shall only be
 15 32 appropriated used pursuant to an appropriation made by the
 15 33 general assembly.  An appropriation shall be made in
 15 34 accordance with subsection 4 only in for the fiscal year for
 15 35 in which the appropriation is made.  The moneys shall only be

 16  7 account for the purposes of section 8.53 in determining the
 16  8 cash position of the general fund of the state for the payment
 16  9 of state obligations.
 16 10    Sec. 31.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  The provisions of this division
 16 11 of this Act amending section 8.56 take effect July 1, 2002.  
 16 12                          DIVISION VII
 16 13    Sec. 32.  SALES TAX EXEMPTION PER FEDERAL SALES TAX HOLIDAY

 16 15    1.  a.  There is hereby exempted from imposition of sales

 16 35 United States secretary of the treasury in writing of Iowa's
 17  1 intention to qualify for reimbursement under the federal Sales
 17  2 Tax Holiday Act of 2001 by not collecting applicable sales tax
 17  3 during the sales tax holiday period specified in the federal
 17  4 Act.

 17 30                          DIVISION VIII
 17 31                       GENERAL PROVISIONS
 17 32    Sec. 33.  Section 226.1, subsection 2, Code 2001, is
 17 33 amended by adding the following new paragraph after paragraph
 17 34 b:
 17 35    NEW PARAGRAPH.  c.  A unit for the civil commitment of
 18  1 sexually violent predators committed to the custody of the
 18  2 director of human services pursuant to chapter 229A.

 18  8 capacity needs of the department of human services unit for
 18  9 the civil commitment of sexually violent predators.
 18 10    Sec. 35.  CIVIL COMMITMENT OF SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATORS.

 18 14    Sec. 36.  EFFECT OF APPROPRIATION REDUCTIONS.  The moneys
 18 15 appropriated in this Act to supplement the appropriations for
 18 16 the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001, and ending June 30,
 18 17 2002, are not subject to executive order number 24.
 18 18    Sec. 37.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  Unless otherwise provided by
 18 19 this Act, this Act, being deemed of immediate importance,
 18 20 takes effect upon enactment.  
 18 21                           EXPLANATION
 18 22    Division I of this bill makes supplemental appropriations
 18 23 from the general fund of the state to executive branch
 18 24 appropriations made for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
 18 25 2001, which were reduced by executive order number 24.
 18 26    Divisions II and III reduce appropriations made to the
 18 27 legislative and judicial branches.  The bill provides that
 18 28 members of the general assembly are not entitled to and shall
 18 29 not receive a per diem payment for the special session that
 18 30 convenes November 8, 2001.  The judicial branch reduction
 18 31 includes a reduction to the percentage amount of the state's
 18 32 contribution to the judicial retirement fund.
 18 33    In division IV Code section 261.17, relating to vocational-
 18 34 technical tuition grants, is amended to eliminate a
 18 35 requirement for the college student aid commission to
 19  1 establish a late application deadline for new applicants and
 19  2 reserving up to $63,000 of the grant appropriation for making
 19  3 grants to those applicants.
 19  4    Division V provides corrective amendments to the interstate
 19  5 compact for adult offenders.  This division is retroactively
 19  6 applicable to July 1, 2001.
 19  7    Division VI provides state budgeting reforms.
 19  8    Code section 8.55, relating to the Iowa economic emergency
 19  9 fund, is amended to conform with requirements for the cash
 19 10 reserve fund.  Existing language prohibiting reversions of
 19 11 moneys in the fund to the general fund except as authorized in
 19 12 current law when the fund has reached the maximum balance is
 19 13 expanded to also prohibit transfer, use, obligation,
 19 14 appropriation, or other encumbrance.  Language specifying that
 19 15 the fund is a special account for purposes of the law
 19 16 pertaining to any generally accepted accounting principles
 19 17 (GAAP) deficit is stricken and moved into other new language
 19 18 later in the bill.
 19 19    Code section 8.55 is also amended to explicitly state that
 19 20 appropriations from the fund can only be made by the general
 19 21 assembly.  However, moneys in the fund may be used for cash
 19 22 flow purposes if the money is returned by the end of the
 19 23 fiscal year.  In addition, there is an appropriation from the
 19 24 fund to the state general fund if the cash flow moneys are not
 19 25 returned and the following conditions are met:  the state
 19 26 general fund fourth quarter estimated or actual receipts and
 19 27 accruals are .5 percent less than the third quarter estimates;
 19 28 the governor has made across-the-board cuts which are
 19 29 insufficient to prevent a shortfall or was unable to make such
 19 30 cuts because of the lateness of the reporting of the estimated
 19 31 or actual receipts; the balance of the general fund is
 19 32 negative; and notification is given to the fiscal committee
 19 33 and legislative fiscal bureau.  The amount that may be
 19 34 appropriated is limited to $50,000,000.  The appropriated
 19 35 amount is returned to the Iowa economic emergency fund by
 20  1 appropriation from the state general fund the following fiscal
 20  2 year.  The bill incorporates the language providing that the
 20  3 fund can be considered to be money set aside in a special fund
 20  4 for purposes of any GAAP deficit into existing language
 20  5 providing that the balance of the fund may be used for
 20  6 determining the cash position of the general fund for the
 20  7 payment of state obligations.
 20  8    Code section 8.56, relating to the cash reserve fund, is
 20  9 amended to conform with the Iowa economic emergency fund
 20 10 changes involving the explicit requirement for legislative
 20 11 appropriation of moneys from the fund and rewriting the
 20 12 language pertaining to a special account for purposes of any
 20 13 GAAP deficit and cash position.  The changes to Code section
 20 14 8.56 take effect July 1, 2002.
 20 15    Division VII would require the governor to notify the U.S.
 20 16 secretary of the treasury of Iowa's intention to claim
 20 17 reimbursement under the federal Sales Tax Holiday Act of 2001
 20 18 by not collecting sales tax for a time period to be specified
 20 19 in the federal Act.  If it is determined that it is not
 20 20 feasible to participate in the sales tax holiday in the time
 20 21 provided by the federal Act, the governor may decline to send
 20 22 notification.  The division is contingent upon enactment of
 20 23 the federal Sales Tax Holiday Act of 2001 by Congress and the
 20 24 federal Act's provision of 100 percent reimbursement to the
 20 25 state for sales tax not collected and reimbursement to the
 20 26 state for administrative costs incurred in implementing the
 20 27 sales tax holiday.  The exemption applies to sales and use
 20 28 taxes, local option sales taxes, and school infrastructure
 20 29 taxes.  The exemption would not apply to tax imposed for the
 20 30 leasing of automobiles.  The department of revenue and finance
 20 31 may adopt emergency rules to implement the division.  The
 20 32 division takes effect upon enactment and is repealed effective
 20 33 January 31, 2002.
 20 34    Except as otherwise provided, the bill takes effect upon
 20 35 enactment.
