1 1 Section 1. Section 257.8, subsections 1 and 2, Code 2015,
1 2 are amended to read as follows:
1 3 1. State percent of growth. The state percent of growth
1 4 for the budget year beginning July 1, 2012, is two percent.
1 5 The state percent of growth for the budget year beginning July
1 6 1, 2013, is two percent. The state percent of growth for the
1 7 budget year beginning July 1, 2014, is four percent. The state
1 8 percent of growth for each subsequent budget year shall be
1 9 established by statute which shall be enacted within thirty
1 10 days of the submission in the year preceding the base year of
1 11 the governor's budget under section 8.21. However, if the
1 12 statute establishing the state percent of growth for a budget
1 13 year is not enacted within thirty days of the submission in the
1 14 year preceding the base year of the governor's budget under
1 15 section 8.21, the state percent of growth for that budget year
1 16 is four percent. The establishment of the state percent of
1 17 growth for a budget year shall be the only subject matter of
1 18 the bill which enacts the state percent of growth for a budget
1 19 year.
1 20 2. Categorical state percent of growth. The categorical
1 21 state percent of growth for the budget year beginning July 1,
1 22 2012, is two percent. The categorical state percent of growth
1 23 for the budget year beginning July 1, 2013, is two percent.
1 24 The categorical state percent of growth for the budget year
1 25 beginning July 1, 2014, is four percent. The categorical state
1 26 percent of growth for each budget year shall be established
1 27 by statute which shall be enacted within thirty days of
1 28 the submission in the year preceding the base year of the
1 29 governor's budget under section 8.21. However, if the statute
1 30 establishing the categorical state percent of growth for a
1 31 budget year is not enacted within thirty days of the submission
1 32 in the year preceding the base year of the governor's budget
1 33 under section 8.21, the categorical state percent of growth
1 34 for that budget year is four percent. The establishment of
1 35 the categorical state percent of growth for a budget year
2 1 shall be the only subject matter of the bill which enacts the
2 2 categorical state percent of growth for a budget year. The
2 3 categorical state percent of growth may include state percents
2 4 of growth for the teacher salary supplement, the professional
2 5 development supplement, the early intervention supplement, and
2 6 the teacher leadership supplement.
2 7 Sec. 2. APPLICABILITY. This Act applies to school budget
2 8 years beginning on or after July 1, 2016.
2 9 EXPLANATION
2 10 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
2 11 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly.
2 12 This bill modifies the requirements for enacting the state
2 13 percent of growth and the categorical state percent of growth
2 14 under Code section 257.8.
2 15 Current law requires the state percent of growth and the
2 16 categorical state percent of growth to be established by
2 17 statute within 30 days of the submission of the governor's
2 18 budget in the year preceding the base year. The bill
2 19 provides that if the statute establishing the state percent
2 20 of growth for a budget year is not enacted within 30 days of
2 21 the submission in the year preceding the base year of the
2 22 governor's budget under Code section 8.21, the state percent of
2 23 growth for that budget year is 4 percent. The bill establishes
2 24 a similar requirement for the failure to enact the statute
2 25 establishing the categorical state percent of growth for a
2 26 budget year.
2 27 The bill applies to school budget years beginning on or after
2 28 July 1, 2016.
