| Fiscal Note | |||||||||
| Undetermined current biennium cost increase - General Fund | |||||||||
| Fiscal Detail and Notes | |||||||||
| The Department of Education may require additional General Fund appropriations in fiscal year 2005-06 to provide funds to existing nongovernment education organizations that provide support and services to educators and school systems associated with the implementation of the system of learning results. The amount can not be determined at this time. | |||||||||
| This legislation provides that the costs associated with this measure qualify to receive funds from the Fund for the Efficient Delivery of Educational Services. However, Section D-67 of Public Law 2005, Chapter 2, An Act To Increase the State Share of Education Costs, Reduce Property Taxes and Reduce Government Spending at All Levels, requires that all funds allocated for the Efficient Delivery of Educational Services in fiscal year 2005-06 must be used for transition adjustments. Therefore, there will be no funds available in the Fund in fiscal year 2005-06 to support the cost of this legislation. | |||||||||
