Sec. R-1. 20-A MRSA §15613, sub-§17 is enacted to read:
17. Unobligated balances. Unobligated balances from amounts appropriated for general purpose aid for local schools may not lapse but must be redistributed to school administrative units in the same fiscal year. The commissioner shall make the final determination of the total amount of unobligated funds and must redistribute 75% of those funds to program costs and 25% of those funds to out-of-district placement costs.

The reductions in these percentages apply to all program cost areas except the transportation operating cost allocation.
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this Act takes effect July 1, 1997.
Effective July 1, 1997.
