 33             quarter's distribution prior to dissolution or disincorporation.  The
 34             board  of  county commissioners shall determine any redistribution of
 35             moneys so received.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


        	             STATEMENT OF PURPOSE		
                                R.S. 11644C1


The purpose of this legislation is provide that an amount not to exceed 10 
million dollars shall be distributed annually from the Sale Tax Distribution 
Fund to the School Safety and Health Revolving Loan and Grant Fund.



                              FISCAL IMPACT

This legislation provides that at the beginning of each fiscal year, $10 
million shall be in the School Safety and Health Revolving Loan and Grant 
Fund. The legislation further provides that any remaining balance be credited 
towards the $10 million. For FY 2003, $10 million will be required. If, for 
example, only $6 million is used during FY 2003, the remaining $4 million will 
be credited to the 2004 appropriation and only $6 million of new money will 
be required.
