SUMMARY
Synopsis
of SEC Amendment
The Senate Education Committee Amendment strikes
the $150.0 for the Legislative Education Study Committee’s Ad Hoc Committee on
Education Reform and reduces the total appropriation from $420.0 to $270.0.
Synopsis
of Original Bill
Senate Bill 72
appropriates $420.0 from the general fund for expenditure during FY2002 and
FY2003 as follows:
1. $150.0 to the
Legislative Education Study Committee (LESC) to pay per diem and mileage expenses and other costs of
the LESC Ad Hoc Committee on Education reform,
2. $120.0 to
contract for an independent study of the effect of the instruction staff
training and experience index on the proposed professional educator licensing
and salary system the and state equalization guarantee distribution, and
3. $150.0 to the
Legislative Council Service (LCS) to contract for an independent study of the
land grant permanent fund and the severance tax permanent fund and other funding
options to secure a permanent revenue source to fund education reform measures
and to investigate anticipated long-term economic and social gains to the state
resulting from the increased economic and social contributions of citizens
education higher standards as formulated in the 2001 education reform
proposals.
Significant
Issues
The SDE analysis states that the two independent
studies called for in SB 72 were included in
HB 82 and SB 307, the bills introduced during
the 2001 Legislative Session to provide funding for the educational reforms
contained in HB 81 and SB 308. These
were the reform bills that resulted from the work of the Education Initiatives
and Accountability Task Force.
The appropriation of
$420.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the fund. Any unexpended
or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY2003 shall revert to the
general fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
SDE reports there will
be no significant impact on the agency.
DUPLICATION\RELATIONSHIP
Senate Bill 72 is
identical to House Bill 66 and relates SJM 12, Continue Ad Hoc Reform Committee,
and HJM 9, Continue Education Reform Ad Hoc Committee.
