Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund appropriation to the Board of Regents for Tuition Replacement. This appropriation notwithstands the definition of vertical infrastructure.

DETAIL: This maintains the current level of funding compared to estimated FY 2011. The Tuition Replacement appropriation replaces the student tuition and fees that would be required to pay the debt service on academic revenue bonds authorized in prior fiscal years. In previous years, funding for this appropriation was divided between $13,975,431 from the General Fund and $10,329,981 from the RIIF. For FY 2009 through FY 2011, the entire amount of $24,305,412 was appropriated from the RIIF.

Code Section 262A authorizes the sale of Academic Revenue Bonds. The Section was enacted in the 1969 Session (63rd General Assembly). The first academic revenue bonds were issued in 1970 and provided the primary source of funds for construction of academic facilities at the universities for several decades. The academic revenue bonds issued by the Board of Regents are secured by student tuition and fees and are considered to be independent and not part of State obligations. The State regularly provides an appropriation to the Board of Regents and pays most of the debt service on the academic revenue bonds through the appropriation process and has done so for many years (decades). The appropriation is not mandatory by statute, but the Board of Regents has previously indicated that without a tuition replacement appropriation, an aggregate increase of 5.0% in tuition across the universities would be required to pay the debt service. The General Assembly provides the appropriation to keep tuition costs lower for students. The tuition replacement appropriation provides most of the annual debt service, but a portion of the debt service is paid from reserve fund interest.

Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund appropriation to the DOT for vertical infrastructure improvements at commercial service airports.

DETAIL: Maintains the current level of funding. The DOT received $1,500,000 from the RBC2 for FY 2011. The FY 2010 appropriation of $1,500,000 came from the General Fund and was subject to the across-the-board reduction so the amount was reduced to $1,350,000. The commercial service airports infrastructure received $1,500,000 for FY 2009 from the RBC. The RBC funds were not available until FY 2010. The grant program received $1,500,000 from the RIIF in FY 2008. There are eight commercial service airports in the State.
