 15    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
 16        SECTION  1.  That  Section 33-1002D, Idaho Code, as amended by Section 10,
 17    House  Bill  No.  463,  as  enacted  by  the  First  Regular  Session  of  the
 18    Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature, be, and the same is hereby amended to read as
 19    follows:
                                                                        
 20        33-1002D.  PROPERTY TAX REPLACEMENT. The purpose of  this  section  is  to
 21    replace  a portion of the authorized school maintenance and operation property
 22    tax levy with state sales tax receipts. As used  in  this  section,  the  term
 23    "property tax computation ratio" shall mean a ratio determined by dividing the
 24    district's  certified  property  tax  maintenance  and operation budget by the
 25    actual or adjusted market value for assessment purposes as such values existed
 26    on December 31 of the previous calendar year.
 27        (1) (a)  In the case of a school district that had a property tax computa-
 28        tion ratio of not less than four-tenths of one percent (.4%) in  tax  year
 29        1994,  that school district shall receive from the appropriations made for
 30        that purpose, an amount equal to the greater of the district's  actual  or
 31        adjusted market value for assessment purposes as such valuation existed on
 32        December  31  of the previous calendar year multiplied by one-tenth of one
 33        percent (.1%).
 34        (b)  In the case of a school district that had a property tax  computation
 35        ratio of less than four-tenths of one percent (.4%) in tax year 1994,  the
 36        greater  of  the  1992,  1993 or 1994 property tax computation ratio  less
 37        three-tenths of one percent (.3%) shall be designated the district's  base
 38        multiplier.  In  no  case shall the base multiplier be less than zero (0).
 39        Four-tenths of one percent (.4%) less the greater of the district's  1992,
 40        1993 or 1994 property tax  computation  ratio   shall  be  designated  the
 41        district's  adjustment  factor.  In no case shall the adjustment factor be
 42        greater than one-tenth of one percent (.1%) or less than  zero  (0).  Each
 43        school district's actual multiplier shall be the base multiplier plus one-
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        fifth (1/5) of the adjustment factor in tax year 1995, the base multiplier
  2        plus  two-fifths (2/5) of the adjustment factor in tax year 1996, the base
  3        multiplier plus three-fifths (3/5) of the adjustment factor  in  tax  year
  4        1997,  the base multiplier plus four-fifths (4/5) of the adjustment factor
  5        in tax year 1998, and the base multiplier plus the  adjustment  factor  in
  6        tax  year  1999  and  beyond. Each school district shall receive, from the
  7        appropriations made for that purpose, an amount equal  to  the  district's
  8        actual or adjusted market  value for assessment purposes as such valuation
  9        existed  on  December  31  of the previous calendar year multiplied by the
 10        district's actual multiplier.
 11        (c)  The preceding provisions of this subsection  notwithstanding,  appro-
 12        priations  from  the state for the value of one-tenth of one percent (.1%)
 13        of the greater of the district's  actual  or  adjusted  market  value  for
 14        assessment purposes as such valuation existed on December 31 of the previ-
 15        ous   calendar   year   shall  not  exceed  seventy-five  million  dollars
 16        ($75,000,000) in any fiscal year. If the  amount  school  districts  would
 17        otherwise  be  entitled to receive pursuant to the preceding provisions of
 18        this subsection exceeds seventy-five million dollars  ($75,000,000),  then
 19        each school district shall receive its pro rata share of seventy-five mil-
 20        lion  dollars  ($75,000,000)  based  on  the  formulas  contained  in this
 21        section.
 22        (2) (a)  Participation in this property tax reduction program is voluntary
 23        for a charter district. If a charter district participates, in addition to
 24        the provisions of subsection (1) of this section it shall not have a prop-
 25        erty tax computation ratio  that is  above  three-tenths  of  one  percent
 26        (.3%)  or the district's property tax computation ratio  in tax year 1994,
 27        less one-tenth of one percent (.1%), whichever is greater.
 28        (b)  If in any year the charter district's property tax computation  ratio
 29        used  to calculate its maintenance and operation budget is increased above
 30        the limit specified in this subsection the district  shall not be eligible
 31        for the distribution pursuant to subsection (1) of this section  for  that
 32        year.
 33        (3)  Limitations imposed upon a school district's property tax computation
 34    ratio  under  the provisions of this section do not apply to any levy approved
 35    by electors of the school district as provided by law.
 36        (4)  Distributions calculated as provided in this section shall be made to
 37    school districts of this state in two (2) equal installments on the due  dates
 38    as  specified  in  section 63-903(1), Idaho Code, for the property taxes being
 39    replaced.
 40        (5)  For purposes of section 33-1002, Idaho Code, moneys distributed  pur-
 41    suant to this section shall not be included in determining total state funds.
                                                                        
 42        SECTION  2.  That  Section 17, House Bill No. 463, as enacted by the First
 43    Regular Session of the Fifty-seventh Idaho Legislature, be, and  the  same  is

 45        SECTION  17.  The  State  Controller  shall transfer $9,785,000 $7,135,000
 46    from the Public School Income Fund to the Public Education Stabilization Fund.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


Statement of Purpose
RS13348C2

This legislation amends HB 463, which is the appropriations bill for the Public Schools Division of Operations. The amendments delay the beginning implementation of the 110%/105%/103% phased-in cap on reimbursable pupil transportation costs from FY 2004 to FY 2005. It also delays the limitation of state reimbursements to the “Basic Bus” to FY 2005. This requires that the amount of money being deposited in the Public Education Stabilization Fund be amended downwards, to reflect the fact that the increase in transportation costs will be higher in FY 2004, in the absence of any cap. There is also a technical amendment clarifying the Property Tax Replacement cap language.

.

&nbsp

Fiscal Note

No net fiscal impact. These amendments shift $2,650,000 within the Public Schools Division of Operations budget, from the one-time Public Education Stabilization Fund transfer to ongoing pupil transportation costs.
