423F.2
provides
that
prior
to
distribution
of
11
SAVE
revenues
to
school
districts,
2.1
percent
of
the
moneys
12
available
in
the
SAVE
fund
are
distributed
and
credited
to
13
the
property
tax
equity
and
relief
(PTER)
fund
to
be
used
for
14
additional
property
tax
levy
aid.
The
bill
provides
that
15
for
each
fiscal
year
beginning
on
or
after
July
1,
2019,
the
16
equity
transfer
amount,
as
created
in
the
bill,
is
distributed
17
and
credited
to
the
PTER
fund
and
foundation
base
supplement
18
fund
in
amounts
specified
in
the
bill.
The
bill
creates
the
19
equity
transfer
percentage,
which
is
used
to
determine
the
20
amount
of
the
equity
transfer
amount,
and
is
equal
to
the
21
equity
transfer
percentage
for
the
immediately
preceding
fiscal
22
year,
unless
the
amount
of
money
available
in
the
SAVE
fund
in
23
the
immediately
preceding
fiscal
year
is
equal
to
or
exceeds
24
102
percent
of
the

of
money
available
in
the
SAVE

25
for
the
fiscal

prior
to
the

the

transfer
percentage
shall
be
the
27
equity
transfer
percentage
for
the
immediately
preceding
fiscal
28
year
plus
1
percent.
However,
the
bill
caps
the
percentage
at
29
12
percent.
The
equity
transfer
percentage
for
the
fiscal
year
30
beginning
July
1,
2018,
is
2.1
percent.
The
amount
required
to
31
be
transferred
from
the
SAVE
fund
to
the
PTER
fund
is
equal
to
32
the
equity
transfer
amount
minus
the
foundation

transfer
33
amount.
34
The

also
establishes

minus

is
credited
to
the

supplement
fund
to
be

12
that
for
the

equals
or

21
Code
section

defines
“school

for
22
purposes
of
the

adds
“school

and
24
security
infrastructure”,
as
defined
in
the

to
the
25
definition
of
“school

The
bill
specifies
26
that
it
is
the
intent
of
the
general
assembly
that
each
school
27
district
prioritize
the
use
of
SAVE
revenues
for
secure
entries
28
for
the
district’s
attendance
centers
before
expending
such
29
revenues
for
athletic
facility
infrastructure
projects.
30
Current

authorizes
a

to
anticipate
31
its

revenues
by
issuing

voter
approval.
The

Additionally,
if
at
any
time
prior
to
the
15th
day
following
1
the
hearing,
the
secretary
of
the
board
of
directors
receives
2
a
petition
containing
the
required
number
of
signatures
and
3
asking
that
the
question
of
the
issuance
of
such
bonds
be
4
submitted
to
the
voters
of
the
school
district,
the
school
5
board
shall
either
rescind
its
adoption
of
the
resolution
or
6
direct
the
county
commissioner
of
elections
to
submit
the
7
question
to
the
registered

of
the
school

The

petition
must
be
signed
by
eligible

equal
in

9
to
not
less
than
100
or
30
percent
of
the
number
of
voters
at
10
the
last
preceding
election
of
school
officials,
whichever
11
is
greater.
If
the
school
board
submits
the
question
at
an
12
election
and
a
majority
of
those
voting
on
the
question
favors
13
issuance
of
the
bonds,
the
board
shall
be
authorized
to
issue
14
the
bonds.
The
bill
also
places
limitations
on
the
period
15
of
time
during
which
an
action
questioning
the
legality
or
16
procedural
compliance
for
the
issuance
of
such
bonds
may
be
17
brought.
18
Currently,
a
school
district
with
a
certified
enrollment
19
of
fewer
than
250
pupils
in
the
entire
district
or
certified
20
enrollment
of
fewer
than
100
pupils
in
high
school
must
apply
21
to
the
department
of
education
for
a
certificate
of
need
22
before
the
school
district
can
expend
the
supplemental
school
23
infrastructure
amount
received
for
new
construction
or
for
24
payments
for
bonds
issued
for
new
construction
against
the
25
supplemental
school
infrastructure
amount.
The
bill
modifies
26
the
criteria
to
be
used
by
the
department
of
education
in
27
determining
whether
to
issue
a
certificate
of
need
to
include
28
the
cost-benefit
analysis
of
remodeling,
reconstructing,
or
29
repairing
existing
buildings
versus
new
construction
and
30
consideration
of
the
benefit
of
the
new
construction
on

31
learning.
32
The
bill
may
include
a
state
mandate
as
defined
in
Code

received

of
