                                              2

 1    state constitution of 1963 and the sum of  $420,613,500.00 

 2    $495,613,500.00 from the general fund.  In addition, available

 3    federal funds are appropriated for 1997-98 and for 1998-99.

 4         (2) The appropriations under this section shall be allocated

 5    as provided in this act.  Money appropriated under this section

 6    from the general fund and from available federal funds shall be

 7    expended to fund the purposes of this act before the expenditure

 8    of money appropriated under this section from the state school

 9    aid fund.  If the maximum amount appropriated under this section

10    from the state school aid fund for a fiscal year exceeds the

11    amount necessary to fully fund allocations under this act from

12    the state school aid fund, that excess amount shall not be

13    expended in that state fiscal year and shall not lapse to the

14    general fund, but instead shall remain in the state school aid

15    fund.

16         (3) If the maximum amount appropriated under this section

17    and sections 11f and 11g from the state school aid fund for a

18    fiscal year exceeds the amount available for expenditure from the

19    state school aid fund for that fiscal year, payments under sec-

20    tions 11f, 11g, and 51a(2) shall be made in full and payments

21    under each of the other sections of this act shall be prorated on

22    an equal percentage basis as necessary to reflect the amount

23    available for expenditure from the state school aid fund for that

24    fiscal year.  However, if the department of treasury determines

25    that proration will be required under this subsection, the

26    department of treasury shall notify the director of the

27    department of management and budget, and the director of the

                                   3

 1    department of management and budget shall notify the legislature

 2    at least 30 calendar days or 6 legislative session days, which-

 3    ever is more, before the department reduces any payments under

 4    this act because of the proration.  During the 30 calendar day or

 5    6 legislative session day period after that notification by the

 6    director of the department of management and budget, the depart-

 7    ment shall not reduce any payments under this act because of pro-

 8    ration under this subsection.  The legislature may prevent prora-

 9    tion from occurring by, within the 30 calendar day or 6 legisla-

10    tive session day period after that notification by the department

11    of management and budget, enacting legislation appropriating

12    additional funds from the general fund, countercyclical budget

13    and economic stabilization fund, state school aid fund balance,

14    or another source to fund the amount of the projected shortfall.

15         SEC. 32.  (1) FROM THE MONEY APPROPRIATED IN SECTION 11,

16    THERE IS ALLOCATED AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $75,000,000.00 FOR
