1 28 This bill provides for the restoration of education funding
1 29 which was reduced as part of a 2.5 percent across-the-board
1 30 budget reduction ordered pursuant to executive order number
1 31 31.
1 32 The bill provides that after applying the reduction made
1 33 pursuant to the executive order, an appropriation shall be
1 34 made to the department of education for the fiscal year
1 35 beginning July 1, 2003, and ending June 30, 2004, in an amount
2 1 totaling $45,441,079. The appropriation shall be made to

2 3 257.16 from the general fund of the state to pay the
2 4 foundation aid and supplementary aid under Code section 257.4,
2 5 subsection 2. The bill provides that amounts received by a
2 6 school district pursuant to the appropriation shall not be
2 7 added to the district cost of a school district or considered
2 8 miscellaneous income, in order that a school district's
2 9 spending authority, which was not reduced by the across-the-
2 10 board reduction, shall not be increased by the amount of the
2 11 supplemental appropriation.
2 12 The bill makes transfers to the department for the fiscal
2 13 year beginning July 1, 2003, and ending June 30, 2004, from

2 17 $18,140,779. The bill provides that the transfers shall be
2 18 exempt from provisions in Code sections 8.55 and 8.56, which
2 19 otherwise prohibit transfers from the funds or use of the
2 20 moneys in the funds by means other than an appropriation.
2 21 The bill takes effect upon enactment.
