Synopsis As Introduced Amends the School Code. In provisions concerning general and supplemental State aid, removes language that provides that if the appropriation in any fiscal year for general State aid and supplemental general State aid is insufficient to pay the amounts required under the general State aid and supplemental general State aid calculations, then the State Board of Education shall ensure that each school district receives the full amount due for general State aid and the remainder of the appropriation shall be used for supplemental general State aid, which the State Board of Education shall calculate and pay to eligible districts on a prorated basis. Effective July 1, 2004.
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill as introduced with the following change. Provides that a General State Aid Entitlement (defined as the sum of the amounts calculated under the recomputation of claims provisions, the general State aid provisions, and the supplemental general State aid provisions of the School Code) shall be calculated for each school district. Provides that payments to districts shall be based on the General State Aid Entitlement, instead of its separate components. Provides that if the appropriation in any fiscal year for the General State Aid Entitlement is insufficient to pay the amounts required, then the payments shall be prorated as appropriate, with any shortage being subtracted from the final warrant or warrants for that fiscal year. Effective July 1, 2004.
State Mandates Fiscal Note (State Board of Education)
As amended by HA1, there is no reasonable way to estimate if future GSA appropriations will be short and if so by how much. The change in the allocation method will affect districts differently but there is no reasonable way to specifically estimate which districts will gain and which districts will lose.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Removes from the definition of "General State Aid Entitlement" amounts calculated under the recomputation of claims provisions of the School Code.
Senate Committee Amendment No. 2 With regard to supplemental general State aid, provides that (i) for the 2004-2005 school year, the grant shall be no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year (instead of no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year multiplied by 0.66); (ii) for the 2005-2006 school year, the grant shall be no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year multiplied by 0.66 (instead of no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year multiplied by 0.33); and (iii) for the 2006-2007 school year, the grant shall be no less than the grant for the 2002-2003 school year multiplied by 0.33 (now, no provision for that year).
