50 bears to the sum of the number of full-time equivalent
Page 7
1 teachers who are employed by all school districts in
2 the state for the base year.
3 h. From moneys available under paragraph "g", the
4 department shall allocate to area education agencies
5 an amount per classroom teacher employed by an area
6 education agency that is approximately equivalent to
7 the average per teacher amount allocated to the
8 districts. The average per teacher amount shall be
9 calculated by dividing the total number of classroom
10 teachers employed by school districts and the
11 classroom teachers employed by area education agencies
12 into the total amount of moneys available under
13 paragraph "g".
14 2. A school district that is unable to meet the
15 provisions of section 284.7, subsection 1, with funds

23 subsection 1, is not less than ten thousand dollars.
24 The department shall consider the average class size
25 of the school district, the school district's actual
26 unspent balance from the preceding year, and the
27 school district's current financial position.
28 3. If a school district does not choose to
29 participate in the student achievement and teacher
30 quality program during the school year beginning July
31 1, 2001, the amount of moneys to be allocated to the
32 school district pursuant to subsection 1, paragraph
33 "g", shall be held for the school district by the
34 department until June 30, 2003, or until the school
35 district participates in the program, whichever occurs
36 earlier. Notwithstanding section 8.33, unencumbered
37 or unobligated funds remaining on June 30, 2002, shall
38 not revert but shall be available for expenditure for
39 the following fiscal year for the purposes of this
40 chapter.
41 4. Moneys received by a school district under this
42 chapter are miscellaneous income for purposes of

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
A copy of the following communication was received and placed on
file:
May 7, 2001
The Honorable Mary Kramer
President of the Senate
State Capitol Building
L O C A L
Dear President Kramer:
I hereby transmit Senate File 410, an act relating to the application of certain air
quality requirements to indoor emission units or air contaminant sources.
I am unable to approve Senate File 410. The original intent of this bill was to
clarify Iowa Code Section 455B.135 by specifying the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources does not have the authority to require air quality permits for equipment that
is not vented outside a building. The purpose of this proposed action was to avoid
undue burden on businesses and industries. I support this concept and worked to
develop a bill that met that intent.
Unfortunately, Senate File 410 as passed by the Iowa General Assembly contains
language that is ambiguous, causing confusion in the interpretation of the bill even
among members of the House and Senate. The definitions of "general ventilation" and
"directly vented" are unclear and subject to misinterpretation. The result of this bill, if
it were enacted, would be inconsistent regulation of air emissions even from the exact
same sources and less certainty about permitting requirements. In addition, it is not
possible to write rules that could be implemented without clarification of the definition
of those terms.
The Department of Natural Resources is involved in discussions with business and
industry to develop rules based on current law that provide the business community
the information it needs to achieve compliance, increase predictability in regulation
requirements, and reduce the overall burden. Supporters of this bill from business and
industry have suggested this goal may be achievable by means other than this bill. I
expect these discussions will continue to build consensus on rules thereby avoiding the
need for additional legislation. Otherwise, I am willing to work on legislation next year
that specifies the requirements for air quality permits and reduces the uncertainty and
additional costs incurred by Iowa’s businesses and industries.
For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully disapprove Senate File 410.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Vilsack
Governor
