51 Be it enacted by the Legislature of the state of Utah:
52 Section 1. Section 53A-17a-133 is amended to read:
53 53A-17a-133. State-supported voted local levy authorized -- Election
54 requirements -- State guarantee -- Reconsideration of the program.
55 (1) As used in this section, "voted and board local levy funding balance" means the
56 difference between:
57 (a) the amount appropriated for the voted and board local levy program in a fiscal year;
58 and
59 (b) the amount necessary to provide the state guarantee per weighted pupil unit as
60 determined under this section and Section 53A-17a-164 in the same fiscal year.
61 (2) An election to consider adoption or modification of a voted local levy is required if
62 initiative petitions signed by 10% of the number of electors who voted at the last preceding
63 general election are presented to the local school board or by action of the board.
64 (3) (a) (i) To impose a voted local levy, a majority of the electors of a district voting at
65 an election in the manner set forth in Subsections (9) and (10) must vote in favor of a special
66 tax.
67 (ii) The tax rate may not exceed .002 per dollar of taxable value.
68 (b) Except as provided in Subsection (3)(c), in order to receive state support the first
69 year, a district must receive voter approval no later than December 1 of the year prior to
70 implementation.
71 (c) Beginning on or after January 1, 2012, a school district may receive state support in
72 accordance with Subsection (4) without complying with the requirements of Subsection (3)(b)
73 if the local school board imposed a tax in accordance with this section during the taxable year
74 beginning on January 1, 2011, and ending on December 31, 2011.
75 (4) (a) In addition to the revenue a school district collects from the imposition of a levy
76 pursuant to this section, the state shall contribute an amount sufficient to guarantee [
77 $35.55 per weighted pupil unit for each .0001 of the first .0016 per dollar of taxable value.
78 (b) The same dollar amount guarantee per weighted pupil unit for the .0016 per dollar
79 of taxable value under Subsection (4)(a) shall apply to the portion of the board local levy
80 authorized in Section 53A-17a-164, so that the guarantee shall apply up to a total of .002 per
81 dollar of taxable value if a school district levies a tax rate under both programs.
82 (c) (i) Beginning July 1, 2015, the [
83 and (b) shall be indexed each year to the value of the weighted pupil unit for the grades 1
84 through 12 program by making the value of the guarantee equal to [
85 value of the prior year's weighted pupil unit for the grades 1 through 12 program.
86 (ii) The guarantee shall increase by .0005 times the value of the prior year's weighted
87 pupil unit for the grades 1 through 12 program for each succeeding year subject to the
88 Legislature appropriating funds for an increase in the guarantee.
89 (d) (i) The amount of state guarantee money to which a school district would otherwise
90 be entitled to receive under this Subsection (4) may not be reduced for the sole reason that the
91 district's levy is reduced as a consequence of changes in the certified tax rate under Section
92 59-2-924 pursuant to changes in property valuation.
93 (ii) Subsection (4)(d)(i) applies for a period of five years following any such change in
94 the certified tax rate.
95 (e) The guarantee provided under this section does not apply to the portion of a voted
96 local levy rate that exceeds the voted local levy rate that was in effect for the previous fiscal
97 year, unless an increase in the voted local levy rate was authorized in an election conducted on
98 or after July 1 of the previous fiscal year and before December 2 of the previous fiscal year.
99 (f) (i) If a voted and board local levy funding balance exists for the prior fiscal year, the
100 State Board of Education shall:
101 (A) use the voted and board local levy funding balance to increase the value of the state
102 guarantee per weighted pupil unit described in Subsection (4)(c) in the current fiscal year; and
103 (B) distribute the state contribution to the voted and board local levy programs to
104 school districts based on the increased value of the state guarantee per weighted pupil unit
105 described in Subsection (4)(f)(i)(A).
106 (ii) The State Board of Education shall report action taken under this Subsection (4)(f)
107 to the Office of [
108 Management and Budget.
109 (5) (a) An election to modify an existing voted local levy is not a reconsideration of the
110 existing authority unless the proposition submitted to the electors expressly so states.
111 (b) A majority vote opposing a modification does not deprive the district of authority to
112 continue the levy.
113 (c) If adoption of a voted local levy is contingent upon an offset reducing other local
114 school board levies, the board must allow the electors, in an election, to consider modifying or
115 discontinuing the imposition of the levy prior to a subsequent increase in other levies that
116 would increase the total local school board levy.
117 (d) Nothing contained in this section terminates, without an election, the authority of a
118 school district to continue imposing an existing voted local levy previously authorized by the
119 voters as a voted leeway program.
120 (6) Notwithstanding Section 59-2-919, a school district may budget an increased
121 amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from a voted local levy imposed under this
122 section in addition to revenue from new growth as defined in Subsection 59-2-924(4), without
123 having to comply with the notice requirements of Section 59-2-919, if:
124 (a) the voted local levy is approved:
125 (i) in accordance with Subsections (9) and (10) on or after January 1, 2003; and
126 (ii) within the four-year period immediately preceding the year in which the school
127 district seeks to budget an increased amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from
128 the voted local levy; and
129 (b) for a voted local levy approved or modified in accordance with this section on or
130 after January 1, 2009, the school district complies with the requirements of Subsection (8).
131 (7) Notwithstanding Section 59-2-919, a school district may levy a tax rate under this
132 section that exceeds the certified tax rate without having to comply with the notice
133 requirements of Section 59-2-919 if:
134 (a) the levy exceeds the certified tax rate as the result of a school district budgeting an
135 increased amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from a voted local levy imposed
136 under this section;
137 (b) the voted local levy was approved:
138 (i) in accordance with Subsections (9) and (10) on or after January 1, 2003; and
139 (ii) within the four-year period immediately preceding the year in which the school
140 district seeks to budget an increased amount of ad valorem property tax revenue derived from
141 the voted local levy; and
142 (c) for a voted local levy approved or modified in accordance with this section on or
143 after January 1, 2009, the school district complies with requirements of Subsection (8).
144 (8) For purposes of Subsection (6)(b) or (7)(c), the proposition submitted to the
145 electors regarding the adoption or modification of a voted local levy shall contain the following
146 statement:
147 "A vote in favor of this tax means that (name of the school district) may increase
148 revenue from this property tax without advertising the increase for the next five years."
149 (9) (a) Before imposing a property tax levy pursuant to this section, a school district
150 shall submit an opinion question to the school district's registered voters voting on the
151 imposition of the tax rate so that each registered voter has the opportunity to express the
152 registered voter's opinion on whether the tax rate should be imposed.
153 (b) The election required by this Subsection (9) shall be held:
154 (i) at a regular general election conducted in accordance with the procedures and
155 requirements of Title 20A, Election Code, governing regular elections;
156 (ii) at a municipal general election conducted in accordance with the procedures and
157 requirements of Section 20A-1-202; or
158 (iii) at a local special election conducted in accordance with the procedures and
159 requirements of Section 20A-1-203.
160 (c) Notwithstanding the requirements of Subsections (9)(a) and (b), beginning on or
161 after January 1, 2012, a school district may levy a tax rate in accordance with this section
162 without complying with the requirements of Subsections (9)(a) and (b) if the school district
163 imposed a tax in accordance with this section at any time during the taxable year beginning on
164 January 1, 2011, and ending on December 31, 2011.
165 (10) If a school district determines that a majority of the school district's registered
166 voters voting on the imposition of the tax rate have voted in favor of the imposition of the tax
167 rate in accordance with Subsection (9), the school district may impose the tax rate.
168 Section 2. Section 53A-17a-135 is amended to read:
169 53A-17a-135. Minimum basic tax rate -- Certified revenue levy.
170 (1) As used in this section, "basic levy increment rate" means a tax rate that will
171 generate an amount of revenue equal to $75,000,000.
172 (2) (a) In order to qualify for receipt of the state contribution toward the basic program
173 and as its contribution toward its costs of the basic program, each school district shall impose a
174 minimum basic tax rate per dollar of taxable value that generates [
175 in revenues statewide.
176 (b) The preliminary estimate for the [
177 [
178 (c) The State Tax Commission shall certify on or before June 22 the rate that generates
179 [
180 (d) [
181 rate exceeds the certified revenue levy as defined in Section 53A-17a-103, the state is subject
182 to the notice requirements of Section 59-2-926.
183 (3) (a) The state shall contribute to each district toward the cost of the basic program in

185 (i) the minimum basic tax rate to be imposed under Subsection (2); and
186 (ii) the basic levy increment rate.
187 (b) In accordance with the state strategic plan for public education and to fulfill its
188 responsibility for the development and implementation of that plan, the Legislature instructs
189 the State Board of Education, the governor, and the Office of Legislative Fiscal Analyst in each
190 of the coming five years to develop budgets that will fully fund student enrollment growth.
191 (4) (a) If the difference described in Subsection (3)(a) equals or exceeds the cost of the
192 basic program in a school district, no state contribution shall be made to the basic program.

194 of the basic program shall be paid into the Uniform School Fund as provided by law.
