IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
HOUSE BILL NO. 403
BY WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO THE CONSTITUTIONALLY BASED EDUCATIONAL CLAIMS ACT; PROVIDING LEG-
3 ISLATIVE FINDINGS; AMENDING SECTION 6-2214, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE THE
4 IMPOSITION OF AN EDUCATIONAL NECESSITY LEVY TO ABATE UNSAFE OR UNHEALTHY
5 CONDITIONS UPON CERTAIN CONDITIONS OCCURRING AND TO PROVIDE PROCEDURES;
6 AMENDING SECTION 6-2215, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE THAT THE CONSTITUTIONALLY
7 BASED EDUCATIONAL CLAIMS ACT SHALL APPLY TO PENDING LAWSUITS PRESENTING
8 CONSTITUTIONALLY BASED EDUCATIONAL CLAIMS THAT HAVE NOT PROCEEDED TO FINAL
9 JUDGMENT, TO PROVIDE FOR SUSPENSION OF SUCH PROCEEDINGS AND REFILING OF
10 COMPLAINTS, TO PROVIDE VENUE, TO PROVIDE FOR THE DISMISSAL OF PARTIES TO
11 THE SUSPENDED LAWSUIT THAT ARE NOT PARTIES TO A REFILED LAWSUIT AND TO
12 PROVIDE FOR DESIGNATION OF PORTIONS OF THE RECORD TO BE FORWARDED TO THE
13 COURTS HEARING REFILED LAWSUITS; AMENDING CHAPTER 8, TITLE 33, IDAHO CODE,
14 BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION 33-808, IDAHO CODE, TO AUTHORIZE A SAFE
15 SCHOOL FACILITY LEVY UNDER CONDITIONS SPECIFIED, TO REQUIRE A NOTICE, TO
16 ADDRESS A FAILED ELECTION AND TO REQUIRE A HEARING, TO REQUIRE JUDICIAL
17 CONFIRMATION AND TO PROVIDE FOR A LEVY TO BE IMPOSED; AND DECLARING AN
18 EMERGENCY.
19 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
20 SECTION 1. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. The Legislature finds that over twelve
21 years of litigation regarding Idaho's system of school funding has not
22 productively used the state's resources to ensure that there is a general,
23 uniform and thorough system of public, free common schools. Trial was held in
24 the spring of 2000, but no final judgment or appealable order has been issued
25 and no findings of fact specifying which school districts are unable to pro-
26 vide safe and healthy school facilities under the current system of school
27 financing have been issued. Current proceedings are likely to be even more
28 protracted if a special master is appointed and there is further delay until
29 final judgment, an appealable order, or findings of fact specifying which
30 school districts are unable to provide safe and healthy school facilities
31 under the current system of school financing have been issued. The Legislature
32 therefore determines it can best exercise its constitutional duty to establish
33 and maintain a general, uniform and thorough system of public, free common
34 schools by altering the procedure of the existing lawsuit to bring it under
35 the Constitutionally Based Educational Claims Act, which will allow the par-
36 ties to focus on districts having the most serious health and safety problems,
37 and to provide a remedy of an educational necessity levy or a safe school
38 facility levy as necessary to abate unsafe or unhealthy conditions.
39 SECTION 2. That Section 6-2214, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
40 amended to read as follows:
41 6-2214. EDUCATIONAL NECESSITY LEVY. (1) In general. There is hereby cre-
42 ated an educational necessity levy that may be levied by a local school dis-
2
1 trict as authorized in this chapter. The educational necessity levy shall
2 expire upon order of the district court having jurisdiction over a suit
3 brought under this chapter or five (5) years after it comes into existence,
4 whichever comes first. An educational necessity levy authorized by this chap-
5 ter may be imposed under the terms of this chapter, notwithstanding the provi-
6 sions of section 63-802, Idaho Code.
7 (2) For safety and health. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
8 chapter, the district court may impose an educational necessity levy or a safe
9 school facility levy for the purpose of raising revenues to abate unsafe or
10 unhealthy conditions that have been identified by findings of fact or a judg-
11 ment of the district court, by a consent agreement that has been accepted
12 (with or without modification) by the district court, or by a local school
13 district plan to abate unsafe or unhealthy conditions that has been accepted
14 (with or without modification) by the district court. The district court shall
15 approve an educational necessity levy or a safe school levy if it finds that
16 the school district has no alternative source of revenue to use to abate
17 unsafe or unhealthy conditions that have been identified by findings of fact
18 or judgment of the district court, by a consent agreement that has been
19 accepted (with or without modification) by the district court or by a local
20 school district plan to abate unsafe or unhealthy conditions that has been
21 accepted (with or without modification) by the district court. The limitations
22 of sections 6-2209 and 6-2210, Idaho Code, regarding the calculation of and
23 the maximum amount of the educational necessity levy do not apply to an educa-
24 tional necessity levy imposed to abate unsafe or unhealthy conditions that
25 have been identified by findings of fact or a judgment of the district court,
26 by a consent agreement that has been accepted (with or without modification)
27 by the district court, or by a local school district plan to abate unsafe or
28 unhealthy conditions that has been accepted (with or without modification) by
29 the district court.
30 SECTION 3. That Section 6-2215, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
31 amended to read as follows:
32 6-2215. EFFECT ON PENDING LAWSUITS. (1) Chapter to apply to pending
33 lawsuits. This chapter shall not apply to any lawsuit pending on its effective
34 date, but that has not proceeded to final judgment in the district court on
35 the effective date of this amendment to this section if the lawsuit presents
36 constitutionally based educational claims or counterclaims by any patrons or
37 by the state of Idaho or state officers and shall apply to any lawsuit bring-
38 ing a constitutionally based educational claim filed after its effective date;
39 provided, however, that if section 1, article IX, of the constitution of the
40 state of Idaho is amended to require the legislature to provide procedures and
41 immunities for lawsuits brought under that section, including pending
42 lawsuits, this chapter shall apply to all suits pending when such a constitu-
43 tional amendment is approved.
44 (2) Procedure for pending lawsuits. If this chapter applies to a lawsuit
45 pending on the effective date of this amendment to this section, all proceed-
46 ings in the lawsuit shall be suspended for fifty-six (56) days from the effec-
47 tive date of this amendment to this section, except to notify the district
48 court of the passage of this amendment and to allow refiling of complaints
49 consistent with this subsection. Any patrons who are parties to such a lawsuit
50 shall have the fifty-six (56) days of the suspension period to file parens
51 patriae complaint(s) consistent with the requirements of this chapter. The
52 legislature and superintendent of public instruction shall have the fifty-six
53 (56) days of the suspension period to file parens patriae complaint(s) consis-
3
1 tent with the requirements of this chapter. If a patron files a parens patriae
2 complaint under this subsection, the legislature and the superintendent of
3 public instruction may intervene as a matter of right pursuant to section
4 6-2206, Idaho Code, within the time period prescribed by section 6-2206, Idaho
5 Code. If any complaints are filed under this subsection, separate complaints
6 shall be filed for each school district that is a defendant, and venue for
7 such a suit against a school district shall be in the county in which the
8 school district maintains its principal business office. At the expiration of
9 the fifty-six (56) day suspension period described in the first sentence of
10 this subsection, any school districts that are defendants to patron suits or
11 to parens patriae suits under this chapter shall be able to answer as provided
12 by the Idaho rules of civil procedure. All further proceedings in such a suit
13 shall be pursuant to this chapter.
14 (3) Dismissal of entities not parties and transfer of records in pending
15 lawsuit. School districts that were parties to a lawsuit that presented con-
16 stitutionally based educational claims or counterclaims on the effective date
17 of this section and that are not defendants in any complaints filed pursuant
18 to subsection (2) of this section shall no longer be parties and shall be dis-
19 missed from any proceedings that were suspended. Any defendant to a lawsuit
20 that presented constitutionally based educational claims or counterclaims on
21 the effective date of this section and who is not a defendant authorized by
22 this chapter shall be dismissed from any proceeding that was suspended. Any
23 plaintiff, defendant or an intervenor as of right to a lawsuit filed under
24 subsection (2) of this section in which there is a school district that was a
25 party to a lawsuit that presented constitutionally based educational claims or
26 counterclaims and which lawsuit was suspended under subsection (2) of this
27 section may designate the portions of the records of the suspended lawsuit
28 that pertain to the school district. Upon written request of the plaintiff,
29 the defendant, or an intervenor as of right or the court in a lawsuit filed
30 under subsection (2) of this section, those parts of the record designated by
31 the plaintiff, defendant or an intervenor as of right or the court shall be
32 copied by the clerk of the district court of the suspended lawsuit and for-
33 warded to the clerk of the district court presiding over the complaint filed
34 under subsection (2) of this section and shall be included in the record of
35 that case.
36 SECTION 4. That Chapter 8, Title 33, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
37 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
38 ignated as Section 33-808, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
39 33-808. SAFE SCHOOL FACILITY LEVY. (1) Safe school facility levy created.
40 In addition to the levies otherwise established by law, there is hereby estab-
41 lished a safe school facility levy. The board of trustees of a school district
42 may impose a safe school facility levy on all taxable property within the dis-
43 trict under the conditions provided by this section.
44 (2) Notice, election and hearing. A school district which has received a
45 written notice from the state division of building safety or other appropri-
46 ately licensed entity identifying and documenting an imminent or serious
47 safety hazard, and which has maximized its levying authority and exhausted its
48 current funds, including lottery funds, plant facility funds, and any other
49 available fund balance, to fix the safety hazard, and which has held an elec-
50 tion as provided in chapter 8, title 33, Idaho Code, for a levy to address the
51 safety hazard but which election has failed, may develop a plan and may hold a
52 hearing to consider whether such a plan of abatement sets forth an efficient
53 method of abating the unsafe conditions in facilities identified and the
4
1 amount of a safe school facility levy necessary to abate the unsafe condi-
2 tions. Such a hearing shall be held after giving legal notice pursuant to
3 chapter 1, title 60, Idaho Code, at least thirty (30) days in advance of its
4 intention to hold the hearing to consider the plan of abatement.
5 (3) Judicial confirmation. Upon adoption of a plan of abatement, the
6 board of trustees of a school district shall petition the district court pur-
7 suant to the procedures of chapter 13, title 7, Idaho Code, for a judicial
8 confirmation of the necessity of a safe school facility levy. In considering
9 a petition for a judicial confirmation under this section, the district court
10 shall proceed as provided in chapter 13, title 7, Idaho Code, except that the
11 substantive issues to be decided shall be whether unsafe conditions in facili-
12 ties exist in the school district, whether the plan of abatement sets forth an
13 efficient method of abating the unsafe conditions in facilities identified,
14 and whether the school district is eligible to impose a safe school facility
15 levy. The issues of fact in the judicial confirmation shall be determined by
16 the judge based upon clear and convincing evidence.
17 (4) Levy imposed. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 63-802, Idaho
18 Code, if the terms of the safe school facility levy are confirmed by the dis-
19 trict court, the board of trustees of the school district shall proceed to
20 certify the levy.
21 SECTION 5. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
22 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
23 passage and approval.
