LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 825, Willie Brown. Education finance.
(1)  Existing law increases the revenue limits of school districts and county superintendents of schools in an amount sufficient to provide additional revenue equal to a specified expenditure for the costs of complying with provisions pertaining to unemployment insurance. Existing law requires that in certain fiscal years the revenue limits of school districts and county superintendents be reduced by a specified deficit factor.
This bill would provide that the amount of the increase to the revenue limits of school district and county superintendents of schools is not subject to the deficit factor that otherwise applies to the revenue limits of school districts and county superintendents of schools.
(2)  Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to increase or decrease the revenue limits computed for school districts and county offices of education, as specified, by the amount of the decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System, and sets forth a method for calculating that increase or decrease for the 1993–94 fiscal year. Existing law requires that the amount of that increase or decrease not be adjusted by the deficit factor described in (1) for the 1995–96 fiscal year.
This bill would require that the amount of the increase or decrease to the revenue limits computed for school districts and county superintendent of schools not be adjusted by the deficit factor described in (1) for the 1995–96 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter.
(3)  Existing law requires that the revenue limits for each county superintendent of schools for the 1994–95 and 1995–96 fiscal years be reduced by a deficit factor that is calculated in a specified manner. For the purposes of computing the revenue limits of county superintendents of schools in subsequent fiscal years, those revenue limits are calculated as if the revenue limits for the 1994–95 and 1995–96 fiscal years had not been reduced by that deficit factor.
This bill would change that deficit factor to 12.59% for the 1994–95, 1995–96, and 1996–97 fiscal years. The bill would provide that with respect to the 1995–96 and 1996–97 fiscal years, if a settlement agreement in California Teachers Association v. Gould is effective, the revenue limit for each school district shall be reduced by an 11.70% deficit factor. The bill would also specify that no funds shall be disbursed under these provisions before August 1, 1996. For the purpose of computing the revenue limits of county superintendent of schools in the 1997–98 fiscal year, the computation would be made as if the revenue limit for the 1996–97 fiscal year had not been reduced by the deficit factor.
(4)  Existing law defines various words and phrases for the purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution (Section 8), including “General Fund revenue which may be appropriated pursuant to Article XIII  B.”
This bill would provide that this phrase includes General Fund revenues that are proceeds of taxes from the state sales tax, including any portion of the proceeds of that state sales tax that is transferred to counties pursuant to legislation enacted during the 1995–96 Regular Session of the Legislature for purposes of realignment of children’s programs.
(5)  Existing law, as set forth in Section 8, requires the state to apply a minimum amount of funding for each fiscal year for the support of school districts, as defined, and community college districts. Existing law directs that the amount of state funding appropriated in each fiscal year to comply with the minimum state school funding obligation set forth in Section 8, be distributed to school districts, as defined, to community college districts, and to state-operated schools in proportion to the enrollment in each of those segments of public education, as specified.
This bill would specify that this provision does not apply to the 1995–96 fiscal year.
(6)  Existing law requires the revenue limit for the 1994–95 and 1995–96 fiscal years determined for each school district to be reduced by a deficit factor that is calculated in a specified manner. For the purposes of calculating the revenue limits of school districts in subsequent fiscal years, those revenue limits are calculated as if the revenue limits for the 1994–95 and 1995–96 fiscal years had not been reduced by that deficit factor.
This bill would instead require that the revenue limit for each school district for the 1994–95, 1995–96, and 1996–97 fiscal years be reduced by an 11.01% deficit factor. The bill would provide that with respect to the 1995–96 and 1996–97 fiscal years, if a settlement agreement in California Teachers Association v. Gould is effective, the revenue limit for each school district shall be reduced by a 10.12% deficit factor. The bill would also specify that no funds shall be disbursed under these provisions before August 1, 1996. For the purposes of computing the revenue limits of school districts in the 1997–98 fiscal year, the computation would be made as if the revenue limit for the 1996–97 fiscal year had not been reduced by that deficit factor.
(7)  Existing law prescribes a method of determining state apportionments to school districts based generally on the computation of district revenue limits less property tax revenues received. District revenue limits are adjusted for various factors, including a prescribed equalization adjustment for certain fiscal years.
This bill would specify that the revenue limits would include an equalization adjustment for the 1995–96 fiscal year, as specified.
(8)  Existing law requires each county superintendent of schools to make specified calculations to determine a revenue limit for each school district in the county. Existing law requires that this calculation contain an equalization adjustment for the 1989–90 fiscal year, and sets forth a minimum equalization adjustment for elementary school districts having an average daily attendance of more than 100.
This bill would provide instead for the computation of an equalization adjustment for each school district, as specified, for the 1995–96 fiscal year that would include as part of that computation an adjustment for the deficit factor.
This provision would only become operative if a settlement agreement in California Teachers Association v. Gould is effective. The bill would also specify that no funds shall be disbursed under these provisions before August 1, 1996.
(9)  Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to compute an adjustment to the revenue limit of school districts that operate continuation high schools, as specified.
This bill would require that the amount of the adjustment made to the revenue limits of those school districts not be adjusted by the deficit factor described in (6).
(10)  Existing law sets forth a formula for determining apportionments to special education local plan areas for the purpose of special education that is based, in part, on personnel service units.
This bill would require the State Department of Education, for the 1995–96 fiscal year, to allocate funds to those educational agencies receiving allocations for instructional personal units based on computing 200-day entitlements not to exceed 111% of the current entitlement for each educational agency.
(11)  Existing law requires county superintendents of schools to compute instructional personnel services units for each school district and county office of education operating special education programs and services for the purpose of making apportionments for those programs. As part of the computations, the superintendent must compute a specified amount for each school district and county office of education that operates an extended year program. Existing law provides that special education local plan areas are eligible for state funding of those instructional personnel service units operated and fundable for services to individuals with exceptional needs younger than 3 years of age.
This bill would require that, for the 1995–96 fiscal year, no amount shall be allocated for instructional personnel services unit for services to children with exceptional needs who are younger than 3 years of age generated by the extended year programs.
(12)  Under provisions of law repealed July 1, 1995, the governing board of each community college district was required to charge each student a fee of $13 per unit per semester unit, or quarter unit equivalent. The chancellor of the community college system is required to compute apportionments to community districts in a specified manner.
This bill would reenact this $13 per unit per semester unit, or quarter unit equivalent, fee.
(13)  Existing law, the Donohoe Higher Education Act, required each governing board, as defined, of public institutions of higher education, to charge duplicate degree tuition to a student who has earned a degree equivalent to or higher than the degree awarded by the program in which he or she is enrolled or who has earned a baccalaureate degree or postbaccalaureate degree and is enrolled without a declared degree objective. Existing law provides that no duplicate degree tuition shall be charge to a student who meets any of specified conditions.
This bill would add to the list for which no duplicate degree tuition shall be charged participants in the Executive Fellow Program, the Jesse M. Unruh Assembly Fellowship Program, or the California Senate Associates Program, administered by the Center for California Studies of California State University, Sacramento.
(14)  This bill would provide onetime funding to support regional social tolerance resource centers, in partnership with nonprofit agencies that have demonstrated success in attaining private and governmental support for similar activities on a regional basis. The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to designate nonprofit agencies to serve as regional social tolerance resource centers, as specified. The bill would provide that, for the 1995–96 fiscal year, the superintendent shall designate one regional social tolerance resource center to receive funding. The bill would appropriate $5,000,000 from the General Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the purposes of funding social tolerance resource centers. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amount appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for that fiscal year.
(15)  This bill would provide onetime funding to support Latino heritage resource centers, in partnership with nonprofit agencies that have demonstrated success in attaining private and governmental support for this purpose on a regional basis. The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to designate nonprofit agencies to serve as Latino heritage resource centers, as specified. The bill would provide that, for the 1995–96 fiscal year, the superintendent shall designate one regional Latino heritage resource center to receive funding. The bill would appropriate $600,000 from the General Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the purposes of funding Latino heritage resource centers. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amount appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for that fiscal year.
(16)  Existing law establishes a program to allocate supplemental grants to fund designated programs for school districts that are receiving less than average funding from state categorical education programs, as specified. Existing law provides that any action by a school district to change or maintain the 1993–94 designation of supplemental grant funds would be considered a new designation that would be applicable in that 1994–95 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter.
This bill would provide that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, until October 1, 1995, school districts are authorized to change their designation of supplemental grant funds. The bill would also provide that any action by a school district to change or maintain the designation of supplemental grant funds for the 1994–95 fiscal year would be considered a new designation that would be applicable in that 1995–96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter. The bill would provide that, notwithstanding specified provisions of law, for purposes of computing the base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance for the 1995–96 fiscal year of a school district, the base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance of the school district for the 1994–95 fiscal year would be increased by an amount equal to the amount of supplemental grant funds added to the total revenue limit in the 1994–95 fiscal year divided by the school districts revenue limit average daily attendance for the 1994–95 fiscal year, as specified.
(17)  Under existing law, in calculating each community college district’s revenue level for each fiscal year, the Chancellor is required to subtract certain items from the total revenues owed, including, 98% of the student fee revenues collected.
This bill would additionally provide for the subtraction of 98% of the revenues received through the collection of a student fee from a student enrolled in the district who registered or enrolled between July 1, 1995, and the date this act becomes operative. The bill would also require the governing board of a community college district to charge a fee as specified in (12) to a student enrolled in the district who registered or enrolled between July 1, 1995, and the date this act becomes operative.
(18)  Existing law provides that the contribution of a school employer to the retirement fund with respect to school members and local members employed by a school district or county superintendent of schools, and the contribution of any employer of a school member for benefits under the Public Employee’s Retirement System is increased by a sum equal to 0.308% of the compensation paid to those members.
This bill would provide that the aforementioned provision is repealed as of January 1, 1996.
(19)  Existing law, the California Academic Volunteer and Mentor Service Act of 1992 (hereafter the act), creates the Academic Volunteer and Mentor Service Program (hereafter program) that is administered by the office of the Governor. Under the act, local planning councils are required to be established, as specified, and the Governor is to encourage each local planning council to determine short-time objections of the local volunteer and mentor services program within the local planning area and to establish funding priorities and submit the objectives and priorities to the office of the Governor. Under the act, the Governor is required to do various tasks, including identifying local planning areas and developing a funding formula for local plan areas to award grants to local projects that are designed to address local planning area objectives and priorities. The act provides that any entity desiring a grant shall submit an application, which shall include specified information, including a statement of the applicant’s experience in the recruitment, placement, and training of volunteers.
This bill would repeal the provisions establishing local planning councils and would provide that grants shall be awarded to school districts and county superintendents of schools to administer the academic district and county superintendents of schools to which a grant is awarded. The bill would make related changes. The bill would also authorize school districts and county superintendents of schools to contract with nonprofit organizations experienced in operating volunteer mentor projects for program operations. The bill would appropriate $5,000,000 for the program for allocation and administration by school districts and county superintendents of schools submitting applications to the office of the Governor only if a settlement in California Teachers Association v. Gould is effective. The bill would require the appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1995–96 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(20)  Existing law sets forth a method for determining the amount of funding to which county offices of education and school districts are entitled for special education purposes. In making the determination of the portion of that amount to be funded by the state, the county superintendent of schools is required to deduct property taxes allocated to special education programs, as specified.
Existing law sets forth various adjustments to property tax allocations and requires the county auditor to make certain allocations of property tax revenues to among other local governmental entities, school districts, county offices of education, and community college districts. Existing law requires the county auditor if, after making a specified allocation of property tax to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to school districts, county offices of education within the county and community college districts, there are still additional funds to be allocated, to allocate those excess funds to community college districts, as specified, and if funds are still available, to school districts and county offices of education, as specified.
This bill would require that if, after making the allocations described above, the county auditor determines that excess funds are available, that those funds be allocated to the county superintendents of schools and counted as property tax revenues for special education programs in augmentation of the amount of property tax revenues allocated for those programs, as specified.
(21)  Existing law sets forth a formula for making allocations to special education local plan areas for state funding of those instructional personnel service units operated and fundable for services to individuals with exceptional needs younger than 3 years of age. Existing law establishes the California Early Intervention Services Act to provide a statewide system of coordinated, comprehensive, family-centered, multidisciplinary, interagency programs, responsible for providing appropriate early intervention services and support to all eligible infants and toddlers and their families. Existing law declares the intent of the Legislature to require the State Department of Education to implement that program.
This bill would provide that if funds appropriated in a specified item of the Budget Act of 1995 for the purpose of early education programs for individuals with exceptional needs are in excess of the amount necessary to fund those instructional personnel services units, and the State Department of Education has not received a specified reimbursement from the Department of Developmental Services, then those excess funds shall be allocated for the California Early Intervention Services Act.
(22)  Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to allocate to each school district maintaining a secondary school or county superintendent of schools that offers adult education classes for adults in correctional facilities an amount equal to the actual current expense of the district or county superintendent of schools maintaining those classes for the fiscal year, subject to specified limitations.
This bill would provide that funds allocated to county superintendents of schools and school districts in the 1994–95 fiscal year or 1995–96 fiscal year for adults in correctional facilities programs shall not exceed the amount of funds received by the county superintendent of schools or school district in the 1993–94 fiscal year, subject to specified restrictions.
(23)  Existing law establishes various categorical programs, including among others, adult education programs, programs for adults in correctional facilities special education programs, and child care and preschool programs.
This bill would provide that the amounts appropriated for those programs in specified items of the Budget Act of 1995 are in lieu of the amounts that would otherwise be required to be appropriated for those programs.
(24)  Existing law provides for the adoption of lists of instructional materials and establishes the State Instructional Materials Fund for the purposes of providing funds to school districts for the acquisition of instructional materials. The Controller is required to transfer a specified amount from the General Fund to the State Instructional Materials Fund each fiscal year for purposes of providing funds for the purchase of instructional materials.
This bill, in addition to those amounts transferred to the State Instructional Materials Fund by the Controller, would appropriate $24,781,000 to that fund for the purpose of providing funds to school districts for the purchase of instructional materials, as specified. The bill would require that appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(25)  Existing law, as set forth in a specific item of the Budget Act of 1994, appropriates $1,085,300,000 to the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges for local assistance to community college districts. The schedule to that item requires $886,651,000 of that appropriation to be used for apportionments to community college districts and $2,400,000 for the purpose of instructional equipment. That appropriation is counted in the Budget Act of 1994 toward the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8.
This bill would appropriate $47,194,000 from the General Fund in augmentation of that item of the Budget Act of 1994 for the purpose of providing apportionments to community college districts for the 1994–95 fiscal year. The bill would also appropriate $26,000,000 from the General Fund for the purpose of providing one-time block grants to community college districts. The bill would require the Chancellor to allocate the funds appropriated for block grants to community college districts in an amount per actual full-time equivalent student calculated on a statewide basis for the 1994–95 fiscal year for expenditure, as specified. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(26)  Existing law establishes the Leroy F. Greene State School Building Lease-Purchase Law of 1976 (Greene Act) for the purpose of providing funds to school districts for school construction projects, including maintenance and repair projects.
This bill would appropriate $20,000,000 from the General Fund to the Director of Finance for transfer to the Office of Emergency Services for the purpose of providing funds to school districts to make repairs to school facilities damaged in the earthquake occurring in Northridge, California, on January 17, 1994. Those funds would count toward the funds the state is required to appropriate for those repairs to receive federal funds. School districts would be eligible to receive those funds only after they are no longer eligible to receive funds for those repairs under the Greene Act. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8 for that fiscal year.
(27)  Existing law requires the governing board of any school district to authorize the use of any school facilities or grounds under its control, when an alternative location is not available, by nonprofit organizations and clubs or associations organized to promote youth and school activities, as specified. That section imposes a state-mandated local program on school districts.
This bill would appropriate $17,801,000 from the General Fund to the Controller for the purpose of reimbursing school districts for claims for reimbursement under Section 6 of Article XIII  B of the California Constitution for the costs incurred by school districts pursuant to that state-mandated local program. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amount appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8 for that fiscal year.
(28)  Existing law, the Morgan-Farr-Quackenbush Educational Technology Act of 1992, provides for school-based educational technology grants for school districts and county offices of education. Those grants are to be used for the development, adaptation, or expansion of existing technology applications to support general education, English acquisition, and non-English-speaking parent education programs. Priority for the grants is to be given to applicants whose projects involve collaboration with a postsecondary educational institution.
This bill would appropriate $10,000,000 to the State Department of Education for the purpose of allocating school-based educational technology grants. The bill would require that first priority shall be given to applications that include acquisition of donated computers refurbished by a community college, regional occupational program or center, or an institution of the Youth and Adult Corrections Agency. The bill would require the appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1995–96 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(29)  Existing law authorizes the State Allocation Board to make allocations to school districts from the State School Deferred Maintenance Fund for the purposes of funding deferred maintenance projects, provided that the school districts meet certain requirements.
This bill would appropriate $24,781,000 from the General Fund to the State School Deferred Maintenance Fund for deferred maintenance projects that, in the absence of maintenance, repair, or modernization, could result in serious damage to the remainder of the school facility, or result in a serious hazard to the health and safety of pupils. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8 for that fiscal year.
(30)  Under existing law, school districts are authorized to receive reimbursement for the costs of voluntary and court-ordered desegregation plans, as specified. Prior to receiving reimbursement, the governing board of a school district must submit its desegregation plan to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Controller.
This bill would appropriate $3,540,000 from the General Fund for transfer by executive order of the Director of Finance to the Controller for reimbursement of claims received by the Redwood City School District for the costs of its voluntary desegregation plan for the 1994–95 fiscal year, as specified. This bill would also appropriate $16,728,000 from the General Fund for transfer by executive order of the Director of Finance to the Controller for reimbursement of certain claims received by specified school districts for the costs of court-ordered and voluntary desegregation plans incurred in the 1990–91, 1991–92, and 1992–93 fiscal years, as specified. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8 for that fiscal year.
(31)  Existing law provides for the funding of special education programs and services.
This bill would appropriate $3,815,000 from the General Fund for transfer to Section A of the State School Fund to provide partial funding for the deficiency in the amount of state funds previously appropriated in the 1994–95 fiscal year for special education programs and services. The bill would require the appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(32)  Existing law, the Uniform Controlled Substance Act, include provisions authorizing the forfeiture and seizure of property involved in, or purchased with the proceeds from, a controlled substance offense. Existing law establishes the Conflict Resolution and School Violence Reduction Program under which the Superintendent of Public Instruction allocates specified funds to participating county offices of education. That program is funded by any amount deposited into the School Safety Account of the General Fund received from the forfeiture and seizure of property pursuant to the Uniform Controlled Substance Act.
This bill would provide that for the purpose of Section 8, the revenues collected pursuant to the Uniform Controlled Substance Act are not “General Fund proceeds of taxes which may be appropriated pursuant to Article XIII  B” of the California Constitution or “allocated local proceeds of taxes,” as specified, and therefore moneys allocated to county offices of education for the Conflict Resolution and School Violence Reduction Program are not for the support of school districts and community college districts for the purpose of Section 8.
(33)  Existing law requires the Controller to transfer each fiscal year an amount determined according to specified formulas from the General Fund to Section A of the State School Fund for the purpose of providing the state funding portion of revenue limits to county superintendents of schools and school districts.
This bill, notwithstanding these formulas, would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction, for the 1996–97 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, to certify to the Controller the amounts that do not exceed the amounts necessary to fund the revenue limits of school districts and county superintendents of schools, as specified.
(34)  Existing law provides for reimbursement for voluntary and court-ordered desegregation programs in the public schools.
This bill would specify that overpayments to the San Francisco Unified School District in the amount of $2,048,635 in the 1991–92 fiscal year identified in audits shall constitute full and complete payment for all claims for desegregation costs in the 1984–85, 1985–86, 1986–87, 1987–88, 1988–89, and 1989–90 fiscal years.
The bill would also provide that commencing with the 1995–96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter in order to be eligible to receive reimbursement for desegregation programs under specified provisions of law, a school district would be required to submit an actual cost claim to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Controller on or before November 30 of the following fiscal year.
(35)  Existing law appropriates the amount of $732,000,000 for transfer to Section A of the State School Fund for apportionment to school districts as an emergency loan for the 1992–93 fiscal year, and $608,691,000 for the 1993–94 fiscal year, specifying that these appropriations may not be applied toward the minimum funding requirements for school districts and community college districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
Existing law also appropriates the amount of $241,000,000 for transfer to Section B of the State School Fund, to be apportioned to community college districts for the 1992–93 fiscal year, and $178,000,000 for the 1993–94 fiscal year, as an emergency loan, and specifies that these appropriations may not be applied toward the minimum funding requirements for school districts and community college districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
This bill would appropriate $50,000,000 from the General Fund in partial discharge of the emergency loans to school districts and community college districts specified above and would require the appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year. In addition, the bill would appropriate $100,000,000 from the General Fund in partial discharge of the emergency loans to school districts and community college districts specified above and would require the appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1995–96 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(36)  Existing law, the Healthy Start Support Services for Children Act, requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to award grants to local educational agencies or consortia to fund programs in qualifying schools that provide designated support services to eligible pupils and their families.
This bill would appropriate $10,000,000 from the General Fund for purposes of the Healthy Start Support Services for Children Act. The bill would provide that no funds shall be disbursed until August 1, 1996. The bill would also provide that the appropriation shall become operative only if the Director of Finance certifies that a settlement in California Teachers Association v. Gould is effective. The bill would require the appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1995–96 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(37)  Existing law does not provide for a statewide pupil assessment program.
This bill would appropriate $15,000,000 from the General Fund for purposes of a statewide pupil assessment program pursuant to legislation enacted during the 1995–96 fiscal year. The bill would provide that no funds shall be disbursed until August 1, 1996, and only if legislation is enacted that establishes a statewide pupil assessment program. The bill would provide that the appropriation shall become operative only if the Director of Finance certifies that a settlement in California Teachers Association v. Gould is effective. The bill would require the appropriation to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1995–96 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year.
(38)  This bill would appropriate $279,327,000 from the General Fund for transfer to Section A of the State School Fund for allocation to school districts and county offices of education, as specified, for the 1994–95 second principal apportionment to be used for instructional materials, deferred maintenance, education technology, or any other non-recurring costs. The bill would require prior, to the use of these funds, that the governing board of the school district or county board of education hold a public hearing or hearings at which time the board shall report on the needs of and resources for, instructional materials, deferred maintenance, education technology, or any other non-recurring costs. The bill would require those appropriations to be included in the amounts appropriated by the state in the 1994–95 fiscal year for the purpose of meeting the state’s minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts under Section 8 for that fiscal year.
(39)  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Appropriation: YES  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

2558.
 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 1979–80 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall apportion state aid to county superintendents of schools pursuant to the provisions of this section.
(a)  The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall total the amounts computed for the fiscal year pursuant to Sections 2550, 2551, 2551.3, 2554, 2555, and 2557. For the 1979–80 fiscal year and for purposes of calculating the 1979–80 fiscal year base amounts in succeeding fiscal years, the amounts in Sections 2550, 2551, 2552, 2554, 2555, and 2557, as they read in the 1979–80 fiscal year, shall be multiplied by a factor of 0.994. For the 1981–82 fiscal year and for purposes of calculating the 1981–82 fiscal year base amounts in succeeding fiscal years, the amount in this subdivision shall be multiplied by a factor of 0.97.
(b)  For the 1995–96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the county superintendent of schools shall adjust the total revenue limit computed pursuant to this section by the amount of increased or decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System resulting from the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982, adjusted for any changes in those contributions resulting from subsequent changes in employer contribution rates, excluding rate changes due to the direct transfer of the state-mandated portion of the employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System through the current fiscal year. The adjustment shall be calculated for each county superintendent of schools as follows:
(1)  Determine the amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the current fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees’ Retirement System employee contribution rate in effect immediately prior to the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 were in effect during the current fiscal year.
(2)  Determine the actual amount of employer contributions made to the Public Employees’ Retirement System in the current fiscal year.
(3)  If the amount determined in paragraph (1) is greater than the amount determined in paragraph (2), the total revenue limit computed pursuant to this part for that county superintendent of schools shall be decreased by the amount of the difference between those paragraphs; or if the amount determined in paragraph (1) is less than the amount determined in paragraph (2), the total revenue limit for that county superintendent of schools shall be increased by the amount of the difference between those paragraphs.
(4)  For the purposes of this subdivision, employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System for any of the following positions shall be excluded from the calculation specified above:
(A)  Positions or portions of positions supported by federal funds that are subject to supplanting restrictions.
(B)  Positions supported by funds received pursuant to Section 42243.6.
(C)  Positions supported, to the extent of employers contributions not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) by any single educational agency, from a non-General Fund revenue source determined to be properly excludable from this subdivision by the Superintendent of Public Instruction with the approval of the Director of Finance.
(5)  For accounting purposes, any reduction to county office of education revenue limits made by this subdivision may be reflected as an expenditure from appropriate sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
(6)  The amount of the increase or decrease to the revenue limits of county superintendents of schools made by this subdivision for the 1995–96 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter shall not be adjusted by the deficit factor applied to the revenue limit of each county superintendent of schools pursuant to Section 2558.45.
(c)  The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall also subtract from the amount determined in subdivision (a) the sum of: (1) local property tax revenues received pursuant to Section 2573 in the then current fiscal year, and tax revenues received pursuant to Section 2556 in the then current fiscal year, (2) state and federal categorical aid for the fiscal year, (3) district contributions pursuant to Section 52321 for the fiscal year, and other applicable local contributions and revenues, (4) any amounts that the county superintendent of schools was required to maintain as restricted and not available for expenditure in the 1978–79 fiscal year as specified in the second paragraph of subdivision (c) of Section 6 of Chapter 292 of the Statutes of 1978, as amended by Chapter 51 of the Statutes of 1979, and (5) the amount received pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 33607.5 of the Health and Safety Code that is considered property taxes pursuant to that section.
(d)  The remainder computed in subdivision (c) shall be distributed in the same manner as state aid to school districts from funds appropriated to Section A of the State School Fund.
(e)  If the remainder determined pursuant to subdivision (c) is a negative amount, no state aid shall be distributed to that county superintendent of schools pursuant to subdivision (d), and an amount of funds of that county superintendent equal to that negative amount shall be deemed restricted and not available for expenditure during the current fiscal year. In the next fiscal year, that amount shall be considered local property tax revenue for purposes of the operation of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of this section.

(3)  The revenue limit for each county superintendent of schools for the 1994–95 fiscal year shall be determined as if the revenue limit for each county superintendent of schools had been determined for the 1993–94 fiscal year without being reduced by the deficit factor required pursuant to Section 2558.4.
The revenue limit for each county superintendent of schools for the 1995–96 fiscal year shall be determined as if the revenue limit for each county superintendent of schools had been determined for the 1994–95 fiscal year without being reduced by the deficit factor specified in this section.
The revenue limit for each county superintendent of schools for the 1996–97 fiscal year shall be determined as if the revenue limit for each county superintendent of schools had been determined for the 1995–96 fiscal year without being reduced by the deficit factor specified in this section.
(b)  The revenue limit for each county superintendent of schools for the 1997–98 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter shall be determined as if the revenue limit for that county superintendent of schools had been determined for the 1996–97 fiscal year without being reduced by the deficit factor specified in this section.

42238.12.
 For the 1995–96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the county superintendent of schools shall adjust the total revenue limit for each school district in the jurisdiction of the county superintendent of schools by the amount of increased or decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System resulting from the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982, adjusted for any changes in those contributions resulting from subsequent changes in employer contribution rates, excluding rate changes due to the direct transfer of the state-mandated portion of the employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System, through the current fiscal year. The adjustment shall be calculated for each school district, as follows:
(a)  Determine the amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the current fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees’ Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately prior to the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 were in effect during the current fiscal year.
For the purposes of this calculation, no school district shall have a contribution rate higher than 13.020 percent.
(b)  Determine the actual amount of employer contributions made to the Public Employees’ Retirement System in the current fiscal year.
(c)  If the amount determined in subdivision (a) for a school district is greater than the amount determined in subdivision (b), the total revenue limit computed for that school district shall be decreased by the amount of the difference between those subdivisions; or, if the amount determined in subdivision (a) for a school district is less than the amount determined in subdivision (b), the total revenue limit for that school district shall be increased by the amount of the difference between those subdivisions.
(d)  For the purpose of this section, employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System for any of the following positions shall be excluded from the calculation specified above:

(e)  For accounting purposes, any reduction to district revenue limits made by this provision may be reflected as an expenditure from appropriate sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
(f)  The amount of the increase or decrease to the revenue limits of school districts computed pursuant to subdivision (c) for the 1995–96 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter shall not be adjusted by the deficit factor applied to the revenue limit of each school district pursuant to Section 42238.145.

(3)  The revenue limit for the 1994–95 fiscal year for each school district shall be determined as if the revenue limit for each school district had been determined for the 1993–94 fiscal year without being reduced by the deficit factor required pursuant to Section 42238.14.
The revenue limit for each school district for the 1995–96 fiscal year shall be determined as if the revenue limit for that school district had been determined for the 1994–95 fiscal year without being reduced by the deficit factor specified in this section.

(2)  Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction specified in that paragraph for any county or city and county that has been materially and substantially impacted as a result of a federally declared disaster, as evidenced by at least 20 percent of the cities, or cities and unincorporated areas of the county representing 20 percent of the population within the county suffering substantial damage, as certified by the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and the effective date of this section, shall be reduced by that portion of five million dollars ($5,000,000) determined for that county or city and county pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3).
(3)  On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall do all of the following:
(A)  Determine the population of each county and city and county in which a federally declared disaster has occurred between October 1, 1989, and the effective date of this section.
(B)  Determine for each county and city and county as described in subparagraph (A) its share of five million dollars ($5,000,000) on the basis of that county’s population relative to the total population of all counties described in subparagraph (A).
(C)  Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B).
(b)  (1)  Except as provided in paragraph (2), the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each city, except for a newly incorporated city that did not receive property tax revenues in the 1991–92 fiscal year, shall be reduced by 9 percent. In making the above computation with respect to cities in Alameda County, the computation for a city described in paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) of Section 100.7, as added by Section 73.5 of Chapter 323 of the Statutes of 1983, shall be adjusted so that the amount multiplied by 9 percent is reduced by the amount determined for that city for “museums” pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 95.
(2)  Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction determined pursuant to that paragraph for any city that has been materially and substantially impacted as a result of a federally declared disaster, as certified by the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and the effective date of this section, shall be reduced by that portion of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) determined for that city pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3).
(3)  On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall do all of the following:
(A)  Determine the population of each city in which a federally declared disaster has occurred between October 1, 1989, and the effective date of this section.
(B)  Determine for each city as described in subparagraph (A) its share of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) on the basis of that city’s population relative to the total population of all cities described in subparagraph (A).
(C)  Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B).
(4)  In the 1992–93 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the auditor shall adjust the computations required pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 98) so that those computations do not result in the restoration of any reduction required pursuant to this section.
(c)  (1)  Subject to paragraph (2), the amount of property tax revenue, other than those revenues that are pledged to debt service, deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to a special district, other than a multicounty district, a local hospital district, or a district governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same membership as a city council, shall be reduced by 35 percent. For purposes of this subdivision, “revenues that are pledged to debt service” include only those amounts required to pay debt service costs in the 1991–92 fiscal year on debt instruments issued by a special district for the acquisition of capital assets.
(2)  No reduction pursuant to paragraph (1) for any special district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that district’s total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown in the 1989–90 edition of the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts (not including any annual revenues from fiscal years following the 1989–90 fiscal year). With respect to any special district, as defined pursuant to subdivision (m) of Section 95, that is allocated property tax revenue pursuant to this chapter but does not appear in the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts, the auditor shall determine the total annual revenues for that special district from the information in the 1989–90 edition of the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Counties. With respect to a special district that did not exist in the 1989–90 fiscal year, the auditor may use information from the first full fiscal year, as appropriate, to determine the total annual revenues for that special district. No reduction pursuant to paragraph (1) for any countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that portion of that agency’s general fund derived from property tax revenues.
(3)  The auditor in each county shall, on or before January 15, 1993, and on or before January 30 of each year thereafter, submit information to the Controller concerning the amount of the property tax revenue reduction to each special district within that county as a result of paragraphs (1) and (2). The Controller shall certify that the calculation of the property tax revenue reduction to each special district within that county is accurate and correct, and submit this information to the Director of Finance.
(A)  The Director of Finance shall determine whether the total of the amounts of the property tax revenue reductions to special districts, as certified by the Controller, is equal to the amount that would be required to be allocated to school districts and community college districts as a result of a three hundred seventy-five million dollar ($375,000,000) shift of property tax revenues from special districts for the 1992–93 fiscal year. If, for any year, the total of the amount of the property tax revenue reductions to special districts is less than the amount as described in the preceding sentence, the amount of property tax revenue, other than those revenues that are pledged to debt service, deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to a special district, other than a multicounty district, a local hospital district, or a district governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same membership as a city council, shall, subject to subparagraph (B), be reduced by an amount up to 5 percent of the amount subject to reduction for that district pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2).
(B)  No reduction pursuant to subparagraph (A), in conjunction with a reduction pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), for any special district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that district’s total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown in the most recent State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts. No reduction pursuant to subparagraph (A), in conjunction with a reduction pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), for any countywide water agency that does not sell water at retail shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that portion of that agency’s general fund derived from property tax revenues.
(C)  In no event shall the amount of the property tax revenue loss to a special district derived pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and (B) exceed 40 percent of that district’s property tax revenues or 10 percent of that district’s total revenues, from whatever source.
(4)  For the purpose of determining the total annual revenues of a special district that provides fire protection or fire suppression services, all of the following shall be excluded from the determination of total annual revenues:
(A)  If the district had less than two million dollars ($2,000,000) in total annual revenues in the 1991–92 fiscal year, the revenue generated by a fire suppression assessment levied pursuant to Article 3.6 (commencing with Section 50078) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code.
(B)  Any appropriation for fire protection received by a district pursuant to Section 25642 of the Government Code.
(C)  The revenue received by a district as a result of contracts entered into pursuant to Section 4133 of the Public Resources Code.
(5)  For the purpose of determining the total annual revenues of a resource conservation district, all of the following shall be excluded from the determination of total annual revenues:
(A)  Any revenues received by that district from the state for financing the acquisition of land, or the construction or improvement of state projects, and for which that district serves as the fiscal agent in administering those state funds pursuant to an agreement entered into between that district and a state agency.
(B)  Any amount received by that district as a private gift or donation.
(C)  Any amount received as a county grant or contract as supplemental to, or independent of, that district’s property tax share.
(D)  Any amount received by that district as a federal or state grant.
(d)  (1)  The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to the county, cities within the county, and special districts as a result of the reductions calculated pursuant to subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) shall instead be deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to be established in each county. The amount of revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, derived from whatever source, shall be allocated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and to community college districts, in total, in the same proportion that property tax revenues were distributed to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and community college districts, in total, during the 1991–92 fiscal year.
(2)  The auditor shall, based on information provided by the county superintendent of schools pursuant to this paragraph, allocate the proportion of the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to those school districts and county offices of education within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The county superintendent of schools shall determine the amount to be allocated to each school district and county office of education in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per average daily attendance in each school district and county office of education. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the fund to a school district or county office of education upon that school district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity.
(3)  The auditor shall, based on information provided by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges pursuant to this paragraph, allocate the proportion of the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to those community college districts within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The chancellor shall determine the amount to be allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per funded full-time equivalent student in each community college district. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the fund to a community college district upon that district becoming an excess tax school entity.
(4)  (A)  If, after making the allocation required pursuant to paragraph (2), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (3). If, after making the allocation pursuant to paragraph (3), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (2).
(B)  Commencing with the 1994–95 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, if, after making the allocation pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds to the county superintendent of schools. Funds allocated pursuant to this subparagraph shall be counted as property tax revenues for special education programs in augmentation of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 2572 of the Education Code, to the extent that those property tax revenues offset state aid for county offices of education and school districts within the county pursuant to Section 56712 of the Education Code.
(5)  For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 or its predecessor section for the 1993–94 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision, other than amounts deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 33681 of the Health and Safety Code, shall be deemed property tax revenue allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.
(e)  (1)  For the 1997–98 fiscal year:
(A)  The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to any city subject to the reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) shall be reduced by an amount that is equal to the difference between the amount determined for the city pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) and the amount of the reduction determined for the city pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b).
(B)  The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to any county or city and county subject to the reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) shall be reduced by an amount that is equal to the difference between the amount specified for the county or city and county pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) and the amount of the reduction determined for the county or city and county pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a).
(2)  The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to a city or city and county as a result of this subdivision shall be deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund described in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d).
(3)  For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 for the 1998–99 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision shall be deemed property tax revenues allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.
(f)  It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section that this section supersede and be operative in place of Section 97.03 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as added by Senate Bill 617 of the 1991–92 Regular Session.

SEC. 29.

(a)  The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each county and city and county shall be reduced by an amount to be determined by the Director of Finance in accordance with the following:
(1)  The total amount of the property tax reductions for counties and cities and counties determined pursuant to this section shall be one billion nine hundred ninety-eight million dollars ($1,998,000,000) in the 1993–94 fiscal year.
(2)  The Director of Finance shall determine the amount of the reduction for each county or city and county as follows:
(A)  The proportionate share of the property tax revenue reduction for each county or city and county that would have been imposed on all counties under the proposal specified in the “May Revision of the 1993–94 Governor’s Budget” shall be determined by reference to the document entitled “Estimated County Property Tax Transfers Under Governor’s May Revision Proposal,” published by the Legislative Analyst’s Office on June 1, 1993.
(B)  Each county’s or city and county’s proportionate share of total taxable sales in all counties in the 1991–92 fiscal year shall be determined.
(C)  An amount for each county and city and county shall be determined by applying its proportionate share determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) to the one billion nine hundred ninety-eight million dollar ($1,998,000,000) statewide reduction for counties and cities and counties.
(D)  An amount for each county and city and county shall be determined by applying its proportionate share determined pursuant to subparagraph (B) to the one billion nine hundred ninety-eight million dollar ($1,998,000,000) statewide reduction for counties and cities and counties.

The amount so determined for each county and city and county shall be divided by a factor of 1.038. The resulting figure shall be the amount of property tax revenue to be subtracted from the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year.
(3)  The Director of Finance shall, by July 15, 1993, report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee its determination of the amounts determined pursuant to paragraph (2).
(4)  On or before August 15, 1993, the Director of Finance shall notify the auditor of each county and city and county of the amount of property tax revenue reduction determined for each county and city and county.
(5)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, the amount of the reduction specified in paragraph (2) for any county or city and county that has first implemented, for the 1993–94 fiscal year, the alternative procedure for the distribution of property tax levies authorized by Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 4701) of Part 8 shall be reduced, for the 1993–94 fiscal year only, in the amount of any increased revenue allocated to each qualifying school entity that would not have been allocated for the 1993–94 fiscal year but for the implementation of that alternative procedure. For purposes of this paragraph, “qualifying school entity” means any school district, county office of education, or community college district that is not an excess tax school entity as defined in Section 95.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, the amount of any reduction calculated pursuant to this paragraph for any county or city and county shall not exceed the reduction calculated for that county or city and county pursuant to paragraph (2).
(b)  The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each city shall be reduced by an amount to be determined by the Director of Finance in accordance with the following:
(1)  The total amount of the property tax reductions determined for cities pursuant to this section shall be two hundred eighty-eight million dollars ($288,000,000) in the 1993–94 fiscal year.
(2)  The Director of Finance shall determine the amount of reduction for each city as follows:
(A)  The amount of property tax revenue that is estimated to be attributable in the 1993–94 fiscal year to the amount of each city’s state assistance payment received by that city pursuant to Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979 shall be determined.
(B)  A factor for each city equal to the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) for that city, divided by the total of the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) for all cities, shall be determined.
(C)  An amount for each city equal to the factor determined pursuant to subparagraph (B), multiplied by three hundred eighty-two million five hundred thousand dollars ($382,500,000), shall be determined.
(D)  In no event shall the amount for any city determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) exceed a per capita amount of nineteen dollars and thirty-one cents ($19.31), as determined in accordance with that city’s population on January 1, 1993, as estimated by the Department of Finance.
(E)  The amount determined for each city pursuant to subparagraphs (C) and (D) shall be the amount of property tax revenue to be subtracted from the amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior year.
(3)  The Director of Finance shall, by July 15, 1993, report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee those amounts determined pursuant to paragraph (2).
(4)  On or before August 15, 1993, the Director of Finance shall notify each county auditor of the amount of property tax revenue reduction determined for each city located within that county.
(c)  (1)  The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to each special district, as defined pursuant to subdivision (m) of Section 95, shall be reduced by the amount determined for the district pursuant to paragraph (3) and increased by the amount determined for the district pursuant to paragraph (4). The total net amount of these changes is intended to equal two hundred forty-four million dollars ($244,000,000) in the 1993–94 fiscal year.
(2)  (A)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, no reduction shall be made pursuant to this subdivision with respect to any of the following special districts:
(i)  A local hospital district as described in Division 23 (commencing with Section 32000) of the Health and Safety Code.
(ii)  A water agency that does not sell water at retail, but not including an agency the primary function of which, as determined on the basis of total revenues, is flood control.
(iii)  A transit district.
(iv)  A police protection district formed pursuant to Part 1 (commencing with Section 20000) of Division 14 of the Health and Safety Code.
(v)  A special district that was a multicounty special district as of July 1, 1979.
(B)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this subdivision, the first one hundred four thousand dollars ($104,000) of the amount of any reduction that otherwise would be made under this subdivision with respect to a qualifying community services district shall be excluded. For purposes of this subparagraph, a “qualifying community services district” means a community service district that meets all of the following requirements:
(i)  Was formed pursuant to Division 3 (commencing with Section 61000) of Title 6 of the Government Code.
(ii)  Succeeded to the duties and properties of a police protection district upon the dissolution of that district.

(iv)  Is located within a county in which the board of supervisors has requested the Department of Finance that this subparagraph be operative in the county.
(3)  (A)  On or before September 15, 1993, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district equal to the amount of its allocation determined pursuant to Section 96 or 96.1, and Section 96.5 or their predecessor sections for the 1993–94 fiscal year multiplied by the ratio determined pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of former Section 98.6 as that section read on June 15, 1993. In those counties that were subject to former Sections 98.66, 98.67, and 98.68, as those sections read on that same date, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district that represents the current amount of its allocation determined pursuant to Section 96 or 96.1, and Section 96.5 or their predecessor sections for the 1993–94 fiscal year that is attributed to the property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979. In that county subject to Section 100.4, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district that represents the current amount of its allocations determined pursuant to Section 96, 96.1, 96.5, or 100.4 or their predecessor sections for the 1993–94 fiscal year that is attributable to the property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979. In determining these amounts, the county auditor shall adjust for the influence of increased assessed valuation within each district, including the effect of jurisdictional changes, and the reductions in property tax allocations required in the 1992–93 fiscal year by Chapters 699 and 1369 of the Statutes of 1992. In the case of a special district that has been consolidated or reorganized, the auditor shall determine the amount of its current property tax allocation that is attributable to the prior district’s or districts’ receipt of state assistance payments pursuant to Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, for a special district that is governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same membership as a city council and that is a subsidiary district as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 16271 of the Government Code, the county auditor shall multiply the amount that otherwise would be calculated pursuant to this paragraph by 0.38 and the result shall be used in the calculations required by paragraph (5). In no event shall the amount determined by this paragraph be less than zero.
(B)  Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), commencing with the 1994–95 fiscal year, in the County of Sacramento, the auditor shall determine the amount for each special district that represents the current amount of its allocations determined pursuant to Section 96, 96.1, 96.5, or 100.6 for the 1994–95 fiscal year that is attributed to the property tax shift from schools required by Chapter 282 of the Statutes of 1979.
(4)  (A)  On or before September 15, 1993, the county auditor shall determine an amount for each special district that is engaged in fire protection activities, as reported to the Controller for inclusion in the 1989–90 Edition of the Financial Transactions Report Concerning Special Districts under the heading of “Fire Protection,” that is equal to the amount of revenue allocated to that special district from the Special District Augmentation Fund for fire protection activities in the 1992–93 fiscal year. In the case of a special district, other than a special district governed by the county board of supervisors or whose governing body is the same as the county board of supervisors, that is engaged in fire protection activities as reported to the Controller, the county auditor shall also determine the amount by which the district’s amount determined pursuant to paragraph (3) exceeds the amount by which its allocation was reduced by operation of former Section 98.6 in the 1992–93 fiscal year. This amount shall be added to the amount otherwise determined for the district under this paragraph. In any county subject to former Section 98.65, 98.66, 98.67, or 98.68 in that same fiscal year, the county auditor shall determine for each special district that is engaged in fire protection activities an amount that is equal to the amount determined for that district pursuant to paragraph (3).
(B)  For purposes of this paragraph, a special district includes any special district that is allocated property tax revenue pursuant to this chapter and does not appear in the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts, but is engaged in fire protection activities and appears in the State Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Counties.
(5)  The total amount of property taxes allocated to special districts by the county auditor as a result of paragraph (4) shall be subtracted from the amount of property tax revenues not allocated to special districts by the county auditor as a result of paragraph (3) to determine the amount to be deposited in the Education Revenue Augmentation Fund as specified in subdivision (d).
(6)  On or before September 30, 1993, the county auditor shall notify the Director of Finance of the net amount determined for special districts pursuant to paragraph (5).
(d)  (1)  The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to the county, city and county, cities within the county, and special districts as a result of the reductions required by subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) shall instead be deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund established in each county or city and county pursuant to Section 97.2. The amount of revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, derived from whatever source, shall be allocated pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and to community college districts, in total, in the same proportion that property tax revenues were distributed to school districts and county offices of education, in total, and community college districts, in total, during the 1992–93 fiscal year.
(2)  The county auditor shall, based on information provided by the county superintendent of schools pursuant to this paragraph, allocate that proportion of the revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to be allocated to school districts and county offices of education only to those school districts and county offices of education within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The county superintendent of schools shall determine the amount to be allocated to each school district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per average daily attendance in each school district. For each county office of education, the allocation shall be made based on the historical split of base property tax revenue between the county office of education and school districts within the county. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to a school district or county office of education upon that district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity. If, after determining the amount to be allocated to each school district and county office of education, the county superintendent of schools determines there are still additional funds to be allocated, the county superintendent of schools shall determine the remainder to be allocated in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue, excluding Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund moneys, per average daily attendance in each remaining school district, and on the basis of the historical split described above for each county office of education, that is not an excess tax school entity until all funds that would not result in a school district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated. The county superintendent of schools may determine the amounts to be allocated between each school district and county office of education to ensure that all funds that would not result in a school district or county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated.
(3)  The county auditor shall, based on information provided by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges pursuant to this paragraph, allocate that proportion of the revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to be allocated to community college districts only to those community college districts within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The chancellor shall determine the amount to be allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per funded full-time equivalent student in each community college district. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund to a community college district upon that district becoming an excess tax school entity.
(4)  (A)  If, after making the allocation required pursuant to paragraph (2), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (3). If, after making the allocation pursuant to paragraph (3), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds pursuant to paragraph (2). If, after determining the amount to be allocated to each community college district, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges shall determine the remainder to be allocated to each community college district in inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue, excluding Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund moneys, per funded full-time equivalent student in each remaining community college district that is not an excess tax school entity until all funds that would not result in a community college district becoming an excess tax school entity are allocated.
(B)  Commencing with the 1994–95 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, if, after making the allocation pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds to the county superintendent of schools. Funds allocated pursuant to this subparagraph shall be counted as property tax revenues for special education programs in augmentation of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 2572 of the Education Code, to the extent that those property tax revenues offset state aid for county offices of education and school districts within the county pursuant to Section 56712 of the Education Code.
(5)  For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1 for the 1994–95 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this subdivision, other than those amounts deposited in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to any provision of the Health and Safety Code, shall be deemed property tax revenue allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.

 Section 97.38 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is amended to read:

97.38.
 Notwithstanding any contrary provision in paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3 and for the County of Marin only, commencing with the 1993–94 fiscal year, if, after making the allocations pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3 as required by subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3 and after making the allocation pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 97.3, the auditor determines that each community college district located entirely within that county is an excess school tax entity as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95, the auditor shall then apply any remaining funds to reduce the amounts of those reductions calculated pursuant to this section with respect to the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amount of the reduction otherwise calculated under this section for each of those agencies.

SEC. 31.

 (a)  Notwithstanding Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 56700) of Part 30 of the Education Code, funds appropriated pursuant to schedule (b) of Item 6110-161-001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 1995 in excess of the amount necessary to fund the personnel services units computed pursuant to Section 56728.8 of the Education Code shall be available for allocation for the purposes of programs serving solely low-incidence infants and toddlers pursuant to Title 14 (commencing with Section 95000) of the Government Code. Allocations from those funds for those purposes shall be made only if the reimbursement amount received by the State Department of Education from the Department of Developmental Services pursuant to Title 14 (commencing with Section 95000) of the Government Code is not sufficient to fully fund the costs of operating the program set forth in that title.
(b)  Each local educational agency that has costs for operating the program pursuant to Title 14 (commencing with Section 95000) of the Government Code that exceed the funds allocated by the State Department of Education to it for that purpose, shall be eligible to receive from the funds described in subdivision (a) an amount not to exceed the amount computed according to the following formula:
(1)  Subtract the number of children under the age of three years with solely low-incidence disabilities served by the local educational agency in the 1992–93 fiscal year, as reported on the April 1993 pupils count made pursuant to Section 56728.5 of the Education Code, from the number of solely low-incidence children under three years of age that the local educational agency is projected to serve in the 1995–96 fiscal year.
(2)  Multiply the number determined in paragraph (1) by six thousand six hundred eighty dollars ($6,680). This is the maximum amount the local education agency shall be allocated pursuant to this section.

SEC. 32.

 (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds allocated to each county superintendent of schools and each school district in the 1994–95 or 1995–96 fiscal year for adults in correctional facilities programs pursuant to Section 41841.5 of the Education Code shall not exceed the amount of funds received by each county superintendent of schools or each school district in the 1993–94 fiscal year for that purpose, subject to subdivision (b).
(b)  The total amount of funds allocated in the 1994–95 fiscal year and in the 1995–96 fiscal year to county superintendents of schools and school districts pursuant to subdivision (a) shall not exceed thirteen million four hundred thousand dollars ($13,400,000) for each fiscal year. If the total amount of funds allocated in the 1993–94 fiscal year to county superintendents of schools and school districts for adults in correctional facilities programs is greater than thirteen million four hundred thousand dollars ($13,400,000), the reduction in the amount to be allocated to county superintendents of schools and school districts shall be made on a pro rata basis by applying a deficit factor to each allocation that is computed by dividing the total amount of funds allocated to county superintendents of schools and school districts in the 1993–94 fiscal year by thirteen million four hundred thousand dollars ($13,400,000).
(c)  If a county superintendent of schools or a school district reduces or eliminates its adults in correctional facilities programs in the 1994–95 or 1995–96 fiscal year, and that reduction to, or elimination of, the program is not a direct result of the reduction, if any, required to be made to the allocation to the county superintendent of schools or a school district pursuant to subdivision (b), the allocation pursuant to this section to that county superintendent of schools or that school district shall be reduced by either an amount equal to the amount of the reduction in the actual expense of the program, or an amount that reflects the reduction in units of average daily attendance generated by the program, whichever is appropriate.
(d)  Any funds remaining after the reduction made pursuant to subdivision (c) shall be reallocated for the purposes of Section 41841.8 of the Education Code.
(e)  The total amount of funds to be allocated in the 1996–97 fiscal year for services provided in the 1995–96 fiscal year shall be increased by five hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($575,000). Of the amount of the increase, two hundred three thousand dollars ($203,000) shall be allocated for expanded services and three hundred seventy-two thousand dollars ($372,000) shall be allocated for cost-of-living adjustments.

(c)  Funds appropriated by this section for deficiencies in desegregation program funding for the 1992–93 fiscal year does not imply that funding will be provided for this purpose in years subsequent to 1993–94. It is the intent of the Legislature to reimburse school districts for unfunded final audited claims for court-ordered desegregation programs for the 1993–94 fiscal year. This section shall not be construed as a requirement for the payment of any other deficits in the funding levels for the remaining categorical programs contained in Item Number 6110-230-000 of Section 2.00 of any budget act.
(d)  The sum of thirty-one million two hundred sixty-two thousand dollars ($31,262,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund for partial payment of the Settlement Agreement and Stipulation dated March 31, 1995, in Long Beach Unified School District v. State of California (Case No. 606020). In accordance with that Settlement Agreement and Stipulation, the Controller shall pay, on or before September 1, 1995, thirty-one million two hundred sixty-two thousand dollars ($31,262,000) to the Long Beach Unified School District.
(e)  The appropriations made by subdivisions (a) and (b) are subject to all of the following:
(1)  The funds are for reimbursement of amounts necessary to pay the costs of desegregation programs, as defined in Section 42249 of the Education Code, initiated voluntarily by local education agencies and pursuant to a court order and for the costs of audits as required by paragraph (2).
(2)  Before submittal of a claim to the Controller for payment, school districts shall subject their past year actual claims to audit, in accordance with standards utilized by the Controller in prior years for the audit of past year actual desegregation claims, to ensure its claim complies with the requirements of Sections 42247, 42247.1, 42248, 42249 and 42249.2 of the Education Code. School districts may contract with the Controller for the performance of those audits. All past year actual claims submitted to the Controller for payment shall be accompanied by any reports issued by the auditing entity, unless the auditing entity was the Controller.
(3)  The Controller shall only reimburse those past year actual claims that conform to the requirements of paragraph (2).
(4)  The Controller shall allocate funds appropriated in this section in accordance with Section 42247 of the Education Code. The Controller shall reimburse these claims only from funds appropriated specifically for that purpose by the Legislature.
(5)  The Controller shall allocate funds appropriated in this section in accordance with the schedule contained herein, unless a revision of that schedule has been approved by the Department of Finance.
(6)  The Department of Finance may not authorize any revisions to the schedule in this section sooner than 30 days after notification in writing of the necessity therefor to the chairperson of the committee in each house that considers appropriations and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, or not sooner than whatever lesser time the chairperson of the joint committee, or his or her designee, may in each instance determine.
(7)  Funds appropriated in this item shall not be used to reimburse claims by school districts for facilities lease costs, school construction, reconstruction, replacement of facilities, purchase of existing facilities, purchase of land, or the performance of deferred maintenance activities on facilities.
(8)  Effective July 1, 1991, and notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no school district shall be required to comply with Sections 90 to 101, inclusive, of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. Any costs incurred after that date in compliance with those regulations shall be deemed incurred voluntarily and shall not be reimbursable as a state-mandated local program. Nothing in this provision shall be interpreted to deny reimbursement of claims for court-ordered or voluntary desegregation plans or programs.
(f)  For the purpose of making the computations required by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the appropriation made by subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) shall be deemed to be “General Fund revenues appropriated to school districts,” as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 41202 of the Education Code, for the 1994–95 fiscal year and included within the “total allocations to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII  B,” as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 41202 of the Education Code, for the 1994–95 fiscal year.

(b)  For the purposes of making the computations required by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the appropriation made by subdivision (a) shall be deemed to be “General Fund revenues appropriated to school districts,” as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 41202 of the Education Code, for the 1994–95 fiscal year and included within the “total allocations to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B” as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 41202 of the Education Code, for the 1994–95 fiscal year.

SEC. 45.

 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the purposes of Sections 14002, 14004, and 41301, for the 1996–97 fiscal year, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall certify to the Controller amounts that do not exceed the amounts needed to fund the revenue limits of school districts as determined pursuant to Section 42238, and as adjusted by the deficit factor specified for the fiscal year in Section 42238.145, and the revenue limits of county superintendents of schools as determined pursuant to Section 2558 and as adjusted by the deficit factor specified in for the fiscal year in to Section 2558.45.

Audits identified that the San Francisco Unified School District received overpayments for desegregation programs in the 1991–92 fiscal year in the amount of two million forty-eight thousand six hundred thirty-five dollars ($2,048,635). This latter amount that the San Francisco Unified School District received in overpayment for the 1991–92 fiscal year shall constitute full and complete payment for all claims for desegregation costs in the 1984–85, 1985–86, 1986–87, 1987–88, 1988–89, and 1989–90 fiscal years.
