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