total operating expense of the distribution for tuition support for
the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012, and ending June 30,
2013. The amount added by this subsection to the appropriation
for the distribution for tuition support:
(1) reduces the appropriation for total operating expense of
the charter school facilities assistance program for the state
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012, and ending June 30, 2013;
and
(2) is reassigned to the purposes of the appropriation for

startup grant payable to a charter school that is established and

in six (6) installments with one (1) installment in each of the last six

ending June 30, 2013.

30, 2012, and before July 1, 2013, from the common school fund
interest balance to the charter school facilities assistance fund
(IC 20-24-12-4) shall instead be transferred to the state general
fund. The amount transferred from the common school fund
interest balance to the state general fund under this subsection
reduces the amount that must be transferred to the charter school
facilities assistance fund (IC 20-24-12-4).
(e) This SECTION expires July 1, 2013.
SECTION 10. An emergency is declared for this act.
