             387          (3) If local contributions from the minimum basic tax rate imposed under Section
             388      53A-17a-135 are overestimated, the State Board of Education shall reduce the value of the
             389      weighted pupil unit for all programs within the basic state-supported school program so the
             390      total state contribution to the basic state-supported school program does not exceed the amount
             391      of state funds appropriated.

             397      and
             398          (b) reduce the state contribution to the basic state-supported school program so the

             401      necessary to support the value of the weighted pupil unit in programs within the basic
             402      state-supported school program in which the number of weighted pupil units is underestimated.
             403          (5) Except as provided in Subsection (2) or (4), the State Board of Education shall

             442          Section 5. Section 53A-17a-133 is amended to read:
             443           53A-17a-133. State-supported voted leeway program authorized -- Election
             444      requirements -- State guarantee -- Reconsideration of the program.
             445          (1) An election to consider adoption or modification of a voted leeway program is
             446      required if initiative petitions signed by 10% of the number of electors who voted at the last
             447      preceding general election are presented to the local school board or by action of the board.
             448          (2) (a) (i) To establish a voted leeway program, a majority of the electors of a district
             449      voting at an election in the manner set forth in Section 53A-16-110 must vote in favor of a
             450      special tax.
             451          (ii) The tax rate may not exceed .002 per dollar of taxable value.
             452          (b) The district may maintain a school program which exceeds the cost of the program
             453      referred to in Section 53A-17a-145 with this voted leeway.
             454          (c) In order to receive state support the first year, a district must receive voter approval
             455      no later than December 1 of the year prior to implementation.
             456          (3) (a) Under the voted leeway program, the state shall contribute an amount sufficient
             457      to guarantee $25.25 per weighted pupil unit for each .0001 of the first .0016 per dollar of
             458      taxable value.
             459          (b) The same dollar amount guarantee per weighted pupil unit for the .0016 per dollar
             460      of taxable value under Subsection (3)(a) shall apply to the board-approved leeway authorized
             461      in Section 53A-17a-134 , so that the guarantee shall apply up to a total of .002 per dollar of


             462      taxable value if a school district levies a tax rate under both programs.
             463          (c) [(i)] Beginning July 1, [2009] 2011, the $25.25 guarantee under Subsections (3)(a)
             464      and (b) shall be indexed each year to the value of the weighted pupil unit by making the value
             465      of the guarantee equal to [.009798] .010544 times the value of the prior year's weighted pupil
             466      unit.
             467          [(ii) The guarantee shall increase by .0005 times the value of the prior year's weighted
             468      pupil unit for each succeeding year until the guarantee is equal to .010544 times the value of
             469      the prior year's weighted pupil unit.]
             470          (d) (i) The amount of state guarantee money to which a school district would otherwise
             471      be entitled to under this Subsection (3) may not be reduced for the sole reason that the district's
             472      levy is reduced as a consequence of changes in the certified tax rate under Section 59-2-924
             473      pursuant to changes in property valuation.
             474          (ii) Subsection (3)(d)(i) applies for a period of five years following any such change in
             475      the certified tax rate.
             476          (e) The guarantee provided under this section does not apply to the portion of a voted
             477      leeway rate that exceeds the voted leeway rate that was in effect for the previous fiscal year,
             478      unless an increase in the voted leeway rate was authorized in an election conducted on or after
             479      July 1 of the previous fiscal year and before December 2 of the previous fiscal year.
             480          (4) (a) An election to modify an existing voted leeway program is not a reconsideration
             481      of the existing program unless the proposition submitted to the electors expressly so states.
             482          (b) A majority vote opposing a modification does not deprive the district of authority to
             483      continue an existing program.
             484          (c) If adoption of a leeway program is contingent upon an offset reducing other local
             485      school board levies, the board must allow the electors, in an election, to consider modifying or
             486      discontinuing the program prior to a subsequent increase in other levies that would increase the
             487      total local school board levy.
             488          (d) Nothing contained in this section terminates, without an election, the authority of a
             489      school district to continue an existing voted leeway program previously authorized by the
             490      voters.
             491          (5) Notwithstanding Section 59-2-919 , a school district may budget an increased
             492      amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from a voted leeway imposed under this


             493      section in addition to revenue from new growth as defined in Subsection 59-2-924 (4), without
             494      having to comply with the notice requirements of Section 59-2-919 , if:
             495          (a) the voted leeway is approved:
             496          (i) in accordance with Section 53A-16-110 on or after January 1, 2003; and
             497          (ii) within the four-year period immediately preceding the year in which the school
             498      district seeks to budget an increased amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from
             499      the voted leeway; and
             500          (b) for a voted leeway approved or modified in accordance with this section on or after
             501      January 1, 2009, the school district complies with the requirements of Subsection (7).
             502          (6) Notwithstanding Section 59-2-919 , a school district may levy a tax rate under this
             503      section that exceeds the certified tax rate without having to comply with the notice
             504      requirements of Section 59-2-919 if:
             505          (a) the levy exceeds the certified tax rate as the result of a school district budgeting an
             506      increased amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from a voted leeway imposed
             507      under this section;
             508          (b) [if] the voted leeway was approved:
             509          (i) in accordance with Section 53A-16-110 on or after January 1, 2003; and
             510          (ii) within the four-year period immediately preceding the year in which the school
             511      district seeks to budget an increased amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from
             512      the voted leeway; and
             513          (c) for a voted leeway approved or modified in accordance with this section on or after
             514      January 1, 2009, the school district complies with requirements of Subsection (7).
             515          (7) For purposes of Subsection (5)(b) or (6)(c), the proposition submitted to the
             516      electors regarding the adoption or modification of a voted leeway program shall contain the
             517      following statement:
             518          "A vote in favor of this tax means that (name of the school district) may increase
             519      revenue from this property tax without advertising the increase for the next five years."
             520          Section 6. Section 53A-17a-134 is amended to read:
             521           53A-17a-134. Board-approved leeway -- Purpose -- State support -- Disapproval.
             522          (1) Each local school board may levy a tax rate of up to .0004 per dollar of taxable
             523      value to maintain a school program above the cost of the basic school program as follows:


             524          (a) a local school board shall use the monies generated by the tax for class size
             525      reduction within the school district;
             526          (b) if a local school board determines that the average class size in the school district is
             527      not excessive, it may use the monies for other school purposes but only if the board has
             528      declared the use for other school purposes in a public meeting prior to levying the tax rate; and
             529          (c) a district may not use the monies for other school purposes under Subsection (1)(b)
             530      until it has certified in writing that its class size needs are already being met and has identified
             531      the other school purposes for which the monies will be used to the State Board of Education
             532      and the state board has approved their use for other school purposes.
             533          (2) (a) The state shall contribute an amount sufficient to guarantee $25.25 per weighted
             534      pupil unit for each .0001 per dollar of taxable value.
             535          (b) The guarantee shall increase in the same manner as provided for the voted leeway
             536      guarantee in [Subsections] Subsection 53A-17a-133 (3)(c)[(i) and (ii)].
             537          (c) (i) The amount of state guarantee money to which a school district would otherwise
             538      be entitled to under this Subsection (2) may not be reduced for the sole reason that the district's
             539      levy is reduced as a consequence of changes in the certified tax rate under Section 59-2-924
             540      pursuant to changes in property valuation.
             541          (ii) Subsection (2)(c)(i) applies for a period of five years following any such change in
             542      the certified tax rate.
             543          (d) The guarantee provided under this section does not apply to:
             544          (i) a board-authorized leeway in the first fiscal year the leeway is in effect, unless the
             545      leeway was approved by voters pursuant to Subsections (4) through (6); or
             546          (ii) the portion of a board-authorized leeway rate that is in excess of the
             547      board-authorized leeway rate that was in effect for the previous fiscal year.
             548          (3) The levy authorized under this section is not in addition to the maximum rate of
             549      .002 authorized in Section 53A-17a-133 , but is a board-authorized component of the total tax
             550      rate under that section.
             551          (4) As an exception to Section 53A-17a-133 , the board-authorized levy does not
             552      require voter approval, but the board may require voter approval if requested by a majority of
             553      the board.
             554          (5) An election to consider disapproval of the board-authorized levy is required, if


             555      within 60 days after the levy is established by the board, referendum petitions signed by the
             556      number of legal voters required in Section 20A-7-301 , who reside within the school district, are
             557      filed with the school district.

             563      occur at a general election in even-numbered years, except that a vote required under this
             564      section in odd-numbered years shall occur at a special election held on a day in odd-numbered
