  1  1    Section 1.  Section 257.8, subsection 1, Code 2016, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    1.  State percent of growth.  The state percent of growth for
  1  4 the budget year beginning July 1, 2013, is two percent. The
  1  5 state percent of growth for the budget year beginning July 1,
  1  6 2014, is four percent. The state percent of growth for the
  1  7 budget year beginning July 1, 2015, is one and twenty=five
  1  8 hundredths percent.  The state percent of growth for the budget
  1  9 year beginning July 1, 2017, is four percent. The state
  1 10 percent of growth for each subsequent budget year shall be
  1 11 established by statute which shall be enacted within thirty
  1 12 days of the submission in the year preceding the base year of
  1 13 the governor's budget under section 8.21. The establishment of
  1 14 the state percent of growth for a budget year shall be the only
  1 15 subject matter of the bill which enacts the state percent of
  1 16 growth for a budget year.
  1 17                           EXPLANATION
  1 18 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
  1 19 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly.
  1 20    The state percent of growth is used by the department of
  1 21 management to calculate regular program supplemental state aid
  1 22 for a budget year by multiplying the state percent of growth
  1 23 for the budget year by the regular program state cost per pupil
  1 24 for the base year.
  1 25    This bill establishes a state percent of growth of 4 percent
  1 26 for the school budget year beginning July 1, 2017.
