Section 22-54-106.5 - Fiscal emergency restricted reserve - calculation of reserve amount(1) For the 2009-10 budget year, the general assembly determines that a state financial crisis requires each district and the state charter school institute to budget an amount to a fiscal emergency restricted reserve pursuant to section 22-44-119. Using the total amount to be budgeted for the reserve as specified in subsection (3) of this section, the department of education shall calculate the amount to be budgeted to the fiscal emergency restricted reserve by each district and the state charter school institute. The amount budgeted by each district and the state charter school institute shall be released for expenditure by the district or for distribution to institute charter schools by the state charter school institute, as applicable, on January 29, 2010, if a negative supplemental appropriation to effect a recision of the total amount of restricted reserve as specified in subsection (3) of this section, or any portion thereof, has not been enacted and become law by said date.(2) The department of education shall calculate the amount to be budgeted to the fiscal emergency restricted reserve for the 2009-10 budget year by dividing the total amount to be budgeted for the 2009-10 budget year, as specified in subsection (3) of this section, by the sum of the total program of all districts and institute charter school funding. The department shall calculate the amount to be budgeted by each district as an amount equal to the total restricted reserve multiplied by the district's total program as calculated pursuant to section 22-54-104 (2)(a)(VIII) or (2)(b), whichever is applicable. The department shall calculate the amount to be budgeted by the state charter school institute for each institute charter school based on the total restricted reserve multiplied by the total program of the accounting district for each institute charter school.(3) For the 2009-10 budget year, the total amount of the restricted reserve shall be one hundred ten million dollars.L. 2009: Entire section added, (SB 09 -256), ch. 294, p. 1551, § 4, effective May 21.
