Appropriation items 200502, Pupil Transportation, 200540,

fiscal year to pay state formula aid obligations for school
districts, community schools, STEM schools, college preparatory
boarding schools, and joint vocational school districts under Am.
Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly. The first priority of
these appropriation items, with the exception of specific
set-asides, is to fund state formula aid obligations. It may be
necessary to reallocate funds among these appropriation items or
use excess funds from other general revenue fund appropriation
items in the Department of Education's budget in each fiscal year,
in order to meet state formula aid obligations. If it is
determined that it is necessary to transfer funds among these
appropriation items or to transfer funds from other General
Revenue Fund appropriations in the Department of Education's
budget to meet state formula aid obligations, the Department of
Education shall seek approval from the Controlling Board to
transfer funds as needed.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make payments,
transfers, and deductions, as authorized by Title XXXIII of the
Revised Code and Sections 267.30.50, 267.30.53, 267.30.56, and
267.30.60 of Am. Sub. H.B. 153 of the 129th General Assembly, in
amounts substantially equal to those made in the prior year, or
otherwise, at the discretion of the Superintendent, until at least
the effective date of the amendments and enactments made to Title
XXXIII by Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly. If a new
school district, community school, or STEM school opens prior to
the effective date of Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General
Assembly, the Department of Education shall pay to the district or
school an amount of $5,000 per pupil, based upon the estimated
number of students that the district or school is expected to
serve. Any funds paid to districts or schools under this section
shall be credited toward the annual funds calculated for the
district or school after the changes made to Title XXXIII in Am.
Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly are effective. Upon the
effective date of changes made to Title XXXIII in Am. Sub. H.B. 59
of the 130th General Assembly, funds shall be calculated as an
annual amount.
Section 4. That existing Sections 263.10 and 263.230 of Am.
Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly, as amended by Am. Sub.
H.B. 483 of the 130th General Assembly, are hereby repealed.
Section 5. Section 3314.03 of the Revised Code is presented
in this act as a composite of the section as amended by Sub. H.B.
264, Sub. H.B. 362, Sub. H.B. 393, and Am. Sub. H.B. 487, all of
the 130th General Assembly.
Sections 3326.11 and 3328.24 of the Revised Code are
presented in this act as composites of the sections as amended by
Sub. H.B. 264, Sub. H.B. 393, and Am. Sub. H.B. 487, all of the
130th General Assembly.
The General Assembly, applying the principle stated in
division (B) of section 1.52 of the Revised Code that amendments
are to be harmonized if reasonably capable of simultaneous
operation, finds that the composite is the resulting version of
the section in effect prior to the effective date of the section
as presented in this act.
