By Representative Cairnes

     On page 104, line 31, increase the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2002 by $2,527,000.

     On page 104, line 32, increase the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003 by $4,664,000

     Correct the total accordingly.

     On page 106, beginning on line 30, after "(vi)" strike everything through "school year." on line 37 and insert the following: "A maximum of $8,569,000 of the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2002 and a maximum of $10,692,000 of the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2003 are provided for a safety allocation to districts subject to the following conditions and limitations:

     (A) The funds shall be allocated at a maximum rate of $10.00 per year per full-time equivalent K-12 student.  For the purposes of this subsection (2)(a)(vi)(A), the "full-time equivalent student enrollment of the district" means the district's average annual K-12 full-time equivalent enrollment for the prior school year or 200 full-time equivalent students, whichever is greater.  However, if a district received a school security matching grant for the 2000-01 school year under section 501 (2)(e) of chapter 1, Laws of 2000 2^nd sp. sess. or section 2 of chapter 12, Laws of 1999 sp. sess., the district's allocation shall be the greater of the allocation calculated using the definition of full-time equivalent student enrollment in this subsection (2)(a)(vi)(A) or the district's total school security grant award for the 2000-01 school year."

EFFECT: Increases the school safety allocation from $6.36 per pupil to $10.00 per pupil; ensures that no school district will receive less than $2,000 per year; and ensures that no school district will receive less than it received in the current school year in school security matching grant funding.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Increases General Fund-State by $7,191,000.
