Notwithstanding the provisions of P.L.2021, c.283 (C.18A:7F-71) or of any other law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the amount of aid provided to an eligible district under this provision shall be calculated as follows: MIA = (PPLTL - PPIA) x REFCMS, where: PPLTL is the per pupil general fund tax levy, which is derived by dividing the district's 2019-2020 school year general fund tax levy by student enrollment expressed in terms of average daily attendance as reported by the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools for federal fiscal year 2019, without the inclusion of military enrollment expressed in terms of average daily attendance as reported by the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools for federal fiscal year 2019; PPIA is the per pupil federal impact aid amount, which is the result of dividing the amount of an eligible school district's federal impact aid payment as noted in the district's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the 2019-2020 school year by its military enrollment expressed in terms of average daily attendance as reported by the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools for federal fiscal year 2019; and REFCMS is an eligible school district's military enrollment expressed in terms of average daily attendance as reported by the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools for federal fiscal year 2019. A school district shall not receive military impact aid pursuant to this provision if the difference between PPTL and PPIA is negative.
