    Basic education allocation and handicapped student program moneys generated under this chapter and under state appropriation acts by school districts for students enrolled in a technical college program established by a cooperative agreement under RCW 28B.50.533 shall be allocated by the superintendent of public instruction to the serving technical college rather than to the school district, unless a school district chooses to continue to receive its allocations."

    "Sec. 2.  RCW 28A.600.310 and 1990 1st ex.s. c 9 s 402 are each amended to read as follows:

    (1) Eleventh and twelfth grade students or students who have not yet received a high school diploma or its equivalent and are eligible to be in the eleventh or twelfth grades may apply to a community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college to enroll in courses or programs offered by the community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college.  If a community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college accepts a secondary school pupil for enrollment under this section, the community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college shall send written notice to the pupil, the pupil's school district, and the superintendent of public instruction within ten days of acceptance.  The notice shall indicate the course and hours of enrollment for that pupil.

    (2) Except as provided in section 1 of this act, the pupil's school district shall transmit to the community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college a sum not exceeding the amount of state funds under RCW 28A.150.260 generated by a full time equivalent student and in proportion to the number of hours of instruction the pupil receives at the community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college and at the high school.  The community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college shall not require the pupil to pay any other fees.  The funds received by the community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college from the school district shall not be deemed tuition or operating fees and may be retained by the community college or ((vocational-technical institute)) technical college.  A student enrolled under this subsection shall not be counted for the purpose of determining any enrollment restrictions imposed by the state on the community and technical colleges."
