Bill summary
House amendment to the 3rd edition adds the following.
Section 1.7A
Appropriates any receipts required to be used to pay legislatively mandated salary increases and employee benefits increases provided in the act up to the actual amount received for the 2024-25 fiscal year.
Section 1.7B
Amends Section 7A.4 of the Appropriations Act of 2023, SL 2023-134, which provides for the allocation of funds by the State Board of Education (State Board) to eligible local school administrative units to provide salary supplements to teachers and qualifying school administrators in those units. Modifies the definition of supplant factor to distinguish the term as applicable to the 2024-25 fiscal year from the existing calculation applicable to the fiscal biennium. Defines the term for the 2024-25 fiscal year to mean the lesser of (1) the total non-State funds expended for salary supplements for teachers in the 2020-21 fiscal year divided by the total State and non-State funds expended for salaries for teachers in the 2020-21 fiscal year (the calculation used for the 2023-24 fiscal year), or (2) the total non-State funds expended for salary supplements for teachers in the 2021-22 fiscal year divided by the total State and non-State funds expended for salaries for teachers in the 2021-22 fiscal year. Regarding nonsupplant enforcement for the 2024-25 fiscal year, requires the State Board to continue to allocate funds to a unit determined to have supplanted non-State funds in violation of the section's provisions if the unit can show that it has remedied the deficiency in funding. Alternatively requires the State Board to not allocate any funds under the section to the unit if the unit cannot show that it has remedied the deficiency (previously, required the State Board to not allocate any funds to the unit and provided for no opportunity to remedy the deficiency).
