(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Section 15-946, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
15-946. Transportation revenue control limit
A. The transportation revenue control limit for each school district for the fiscal years 1985‑1986, 1986‑1987 and 1987‑1988 is computed as follows:
1. Determine the adopted operational expenditure budget for pupil transportation for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 effective January 1, 1985.
2. Determine the transportation revenue control limit for the school district for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in this section before April 18, 1985.
3. If the school district's transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection is equal to or greater than the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection, the transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal year 1985‑1986 is the change in the transportation support level from the fiscal year 1984‑1985 to the fiscal year 1985‑1986 plus the transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection. For the fiscal years 1986‑1987 and 1987‑1988, the transportation revenue control limit is the transportation revenue control limit for the current year plus the change in the transportation support level for the current year to the budget year.
4. If the school district's transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection is less than the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection, the transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal year 1985‑1986 is the sum of the following:
(a) The transportation revenue control limit for the school district for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection.
(b) The change in the transportation support level from the fiscal year 1984‑1985 to the fiscal year 1985‑1986.
(c) One‑third of the amount obtained by subtracting the transportation revenue control limit for fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection from the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection.
5. If the transportation revenue control limit of the school district for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection is less than the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection, the transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal years 1986‑1987 and 1987‑1988 is the sum of the following:
(a) The transportation revenue control limit for the current year.
(b) The change in the transportation support level from the current year to the budget year.
(c) One‑third of the amount obtained by subtracting the transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal year 1984‑1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection from the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection.
B. The transportation revenue control limit for each school district for the fiscal year 1988‑1989 and each year thereafter shall be the transportation revenue control limit for the current year plus the increase in the transportation support level from the current year to the budget year, except that for fiscal year 2006‑2007 and for each fiscal year thereafter, the transportation revenue control limit shall not increase if the transportation revenue control limit is more than one hundred twenty per cent percent of the transportation support level. Beginning in fiscal year 2018-2019 and each fiscal year thereafter, the difference between each school district's transportation revenue control limit and transportation support level shall not exceed the amount calculated in fiscal year 2017-2018. If a school district's transportation support level decreases from the current year to the budget year, the transportation revenue control limit in the budget year shall decrease by the same amount.
C. Notwithstanding subsection B of this section, if the transportation support level of a school district exceeds the transportation revenue control limit in any budget year, the transportation revenue control limit shall be adjusted in that budget year and every budget year thereafter to equal the transportation support level.
