  4        SCHOOL DISTRICT DEFERRED MAINTENANCE FUND, TO  SPECIFY  THE  PURPOSES,  TO
  5        REQUIRE  DEPOSIT  OF  MONEYS  AND TO REQUIRE REPORTS; AMENDING CHAPTER 10,
  6        TITLE 33, IDAHO CODE, BY THE ADDITION OF  A  NEW  SECTION  33-1019,  IDAHO
  7        CODE,  TO  PROVIDE  A  SCHOOL BUILDING MAINTENANCE EQUALIZATION ALLOCATION
  8        FROM STATE MONEYS AND TO PHASE IN THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT; AND  PROVIDING  AN

 10    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
 11        SECTION  1.  That  Chapter  10,  Title 33, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
 12    hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and  des-
 13    ignated as Section 33-1018, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
                                                                        
 14        33-1018.  DISTRICT  ALLOCATION  FOR  BUILDING MAINTENANCE REQUIRED. School
 15    districts shall annually deposit funds from any source available to  the  dis-
 16    trict  equal  to  at  least one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the replacement
 17    value of district owned school buildings to the school district deferred main-
 18    tenance fund, which fund is hereby created. The district allocation of one and
 19    one-half percent (1.5%) shall be reduced by the amount of the state allocation
 20    provided in section 33-1019, Idaho Code. For the purposes of this section, the
 21    term "school buildings" does not include buildings used exclusively for admin-
 22    istrative staff, shops, garages, stadiums or  similar  nonteaching  functions.
 23    Moneys  in  the  school district's deferred maintenance fund shall be used for
 24    the maintenance and repair of the district owned school buildings, the  expen-
 25    ditures  of which are categorized as maintenance of buildings and equipment on
 26    forms prescribed by the state department of education, or may  be  applied  to
 27    capital  improvements.  Moneys  may  also be applied by the school district to
 28    debt service on outstanding debt when the balance in the building  maintenance
 29    fund  is in excess of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the replacement value
 30    of district owned school buildings.
 31        No deposits are required by the district beyond those necessary  to  bring
 32    the  balance  in  the deferred maintenance fund to an amount representing five
 33    percent (5%) of the replacement value of all district owned school  buildings.
 34    Unexpended  moneys in the school district's deferred maintenance fund shall be
 35    carried over from year to year. The replacement value of  all  district  owned
 36    school  buildings shall be determined by multiplying the number of square feet
 37    of building floor space in all district owned buildings by  seventy-four  dol-
 38    lars  ($74.00).  Annually,  the state department of education shall review the
 39    dollar value figure for replacement and the superintendent of public  instruc-
 40    tion  shall  report an updated figure to the joint finance-appropriations com-
 41    mittee prior to the twentieth legislative day.
 42        School districts shall annually submit the following to the state  depart-
 43    ment of education:
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        (1)  An  update  of  the  number of square feet of building floor space in
  2    district owned school buildings;
  3        (2)  A report showing the  funds  and  fund  sources  deposited  into  the
  4    district's  deferred  maintenance  fund  in each fiscal year, the fund balance
  5    carried forward from the prior fiscal years, and the amount and categories  of
  6    expenditures from the fund.
                                                                        
  7        SECTION  2.  That  Chapter  10, Title 33, Idaho Code, be, and the same  is
  8    hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and  des-
  9    ignated as Section 33-1019, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
                                                                        
 10        33-1019.  SCHOOL BUILDING MAINTENANCE EQUALIZATION SUPPORT. In furtherance
 11    of  the  duty  of  the state to support the schools of the state of Idaho, the
 12    legislature hereby establishes the school  building  maintenance  equalization
 13    support  program.  The annual appropriation shall be determined by multiplying
 14    the total number of square feet of building  floor  space  in  district  owned
 15    school  buildings  times  the  replacement  value  as  established  in section
 16    33-1018,  Idaho  Code,  and  subsequently  revised  by  the   joint   finance-
 17    appropriations  committee.  The  result shall be multiplied by one-half of one
 18    percent (.50%) to determine the equalization support target amount to be fully
 19    funded in the tenth program year. In the first year, ten percent (10%) of  the
 20    target amount shall be funded and each year thereafter, an additional ten per-
 21    cent  (10%)  of the target shall be funded to reach one hundred percent (100%)
 22    in the tenth year. The allocation shall then be made on  an  equalized  basis,
 23    using  the  equalized  value  determined  by  the department of education. The
 24    moneys from the school building maintenance equalization support appropriation
 25    shall be deposited by the district in the district's school building  deferred
 26    maintenance  fund and used exclusively by the district for the purposes of the
 27    fund.
                                                                        
 28        SECTION 3.  This act shall be in full force and effect on and  after  July
 29    1, 2004.

maintenance fund each year that is equal to the number of square
feet of buildings used for teaching multiplied by "$74" by 
1 1/2%.

This legislation also requires that the state will participate in
this fund by contributing 1/3 of the cost, which will be phased
in over 10 years.
