AN ACT concerning school district finance; revising the definition of local
  effort; amending K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 72-6410 and repealing the existing
  section.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
  Section 1.  K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 72-6410 is hereby amended to read as
follows: 72-6410. (a) ``State financial aid'' means an amount equal to the
product obtained by multiplying base state aid per pupil by the adjusted
enrollment of a district.
  (b)  ``Base state aid per pupil'' means an amount of state financial aid
per pupil. Subject to the other provisions of this subsection, the amount
of base state aid per pupil is $3,648. The amount of base state aid per
pupil is subject to reduction commensurate with any reduction under
K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 75-6704, and amendments thereto, in the amount of
the appropriation from the state general fund for general state aid. If the
amount of appropriations for general state aid is insufficient to pay in full
the amount each district is entitled to receive for any school year, the
amount of base state aid per pupil for such school year is subject to
reduction commensurate with the amount of the insufficiency.
  (c)  ``Local effort'' means the sum of an amount equal to the proceeds
from the tax levied under authority of K.S.A. 72-6431, and amendments
thereto, and an amount equal to any unexpended and unencumbered
balance remaining in the general fund of the district, except amounts
received by the district and authorized to be expended for the purposes
specified in K.S.A. 72-6430, and amendments thereto, and an amount
equal to any unexpended and unencumbered balances remaining in the
program weighted funds of the district, except any amount in the voca-
tional education fund of the district if the district is operating an area
vocational school, and an amount equal to any remaining proceeds from
taxes levied under authority of K.S.A. 72-7056 and 72-7072, and amend-
ments thereto, prior to the repeal of such statutory sections, and an
amount equal to the amount deposited in the general fund in the current
school year from amounts received in such year by the district under the
provisions of subsection (a) of K.S.A. 72-1046a, and amendments thereto,
and an amount equal to the amount deposited in the general fund in the
current school year from amounts received in such year by the district
pursuant to contracts made and entered into under authority of K.S.A.
72-6757, and amendments thereto, and an amount equal to the amount
credited to the general fund in the current school year from amounts
distributed in such year to the district under the provisions of articles 17
and 34 of chapter 12 of Kansas Statutes Annotated and under the pro-
visions of articles 42 and 51 of chapter 79 of Kansas Statutes Annotated,
and an amount equal to 75% of the federal impact aid of a district.
  (d)  ``Federal impact aid'' means an amount equal to the federally
qualified percentage of the amount of moneys a district receives in the
current school year under the provisions of title I of public law 874 and
congressional appropriations therefor, excluding amounts received for as-
sistance in cases of major disaster and amounts received under the low-
rent housing program. The amount of federal impact aid defined herein
as an amount equal to the federally qualified percentage of the amount
of moneys provided for the district under title I of public law 874 shall
be determined by the state board in accordance with terms and conditions
imposed under the provisions of the public law and rules and regulations
thereunder.
  Sec. 2.  K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 72-6410 is hereby repealed.
  Sec. 3.  This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
publication in the statute book.
