BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

    Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 124D.135, subdivision 1, is amended to
read:
    Subdivision 1. Revenue. The revenue for early childhood family education
programs for a school district equals $112 for fiscal year 2007 and $120 for fiscal year
2008 $120 for fiscal year 2014 and the formula allowance for the year times 0.10 for fiscal
year 2015 and later, times the greater of:
    (1) 150; or
    (2) the number of people under five years of age residing in the district on October 1
of the previous school year.

    Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 124D.135, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
    Subd. 3. Early childhood family education levy. (a) By September 30 of each year,
the commissioner shall establish a tax rate for early childhood family education revenue
that raises $22,135,000 in each fiscal year. If the amount of the early childhood family
education levy would exceed the early childhood family education revenue, the early
childhood family education levy must equal the early childhood family education revenue.
A district may not certify an early childhood family education levy unless it has met the
annual program data reporting requirements under section 124D.13, subdivision 13.
    (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), for fiscal year 2009 only, the commissioner shall
establish a tax rate for early education revenue that raises $13,565,000.
