"Sec. 116   RCW 28A.500.010 and 1999 c 317 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:
     ((Commencing with calendar year 2000,)) In addition to a school district's other general fund allocations, each eligible district shall be provided local effort assistance funds. The purpose of these funds is to mitigate the effect that above average property tax rates might have on the ability of a school district to raise local revenues to supplement the state's basic program of education. These funds serve to equalize the property tax rates that individual taxpayers would pay for such levies and to provide tax relief to taxpayers in high tax rate school districts. Such funds are ((not)) part of the district's basic education allocation."

     Beginning on page 37, line 3 of the amendment, strike all of sections 301 and 302

     Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
