  1  8    "Section 1.  NEW SECTION.  298.2A  PHYSICAL PLANT
  1  9 AND EQUIPMENT LEVY STATE FUND – DISTRIBUTION.
  1 10    1.  A physical plant and equipment levy state fund
  1 11 is created as a separate and distinct fund in the
  1 12 state treasury under the control of the department of
  1 13 education.  Any moneys disbursed from the fund shall
  1 14 be used as provided in section 298.3.
  1 15    2.  For the school budget year beginning July 1,
  1 16 2004, and for each succeeding budget year, the county
  1 17 treasurer shall remit to the department of education
  1 18 for deposit into the physical plant and equipment levy
  1 19 state fund the property tax revenues received from the
  1 20 collection during the school budget year of the
  1 21 regular physical plant and equipment levy.
  1 22    3.  The amount deposited in the physical plant and
  1 23 equipment levy state fund in a budget year shall be
  1 24 distributed as follows:
  1 25    a.  Each school district that has imposed the
  1 26 regular physical plant and equipment levy shall
  1 27 receive an amount per pupil equal to the amount in the
  1 28 state fund divided by the combined actual enrollment
  1 29 of all school districts that impose such levy.  The
  1 30 actual enrollment figures for each such school
  1 31 district reported by October 1 to the department of
  1 32 education pursuant to section 257.6, subsection 1,
  1 33 shall be used to determine the combined actual
  1 34 enrollment.
  1 35    b.  Notwithstanding the computation of the amount
  1 36 per pupil in paragraph "a", if a school district has
  1 37 incurred indebtedness or issued bonds which were
  1 38 incurred or issued prior to April 1, 2003, and that
  1 39 certifies that the amount to be received pursuant to
  1 40 paragraph "a" plus any amount to be received from the
  1 41 voter-approved physical plant and equipment levy is
  1 42 insufficient to pay principal and interest on the
  1 43 indebtedness or bonds, the school district may certify
  1 44 such fact to the department of education and the
  1 45 department shall provide the amount needed to pay
  1 46 principal and interest but not to exceed the amount
  1 47 collected from the school district's regular physical
  1 48 plant and equipment levy.  The amounts paid under this
  1 49 subject to all school districts shall be paid from the
  1 50 state fund prior to determining the actual per pupil
  2  1 amount to be distributed to each district.
  2  2    c.  Distributions to school districts shall be made
  2  3 approximately one-half by September 15 and the
  2  4 remainder by March 15 of the budget year.
  2  5    d.  This section does not apply to the collection
  2  6 and distribution of any voter-approved physical plant
  2  7 and equipment levy.""
