2008 Senate Bill 531 (Increase K-12 education spending) (House Roll Call)

Motion by Rep. Deena Horst (R) on May 2, 2008, to adopt a compromise version of the bill reported by a House-Senate conference committee. The report recommends passage of the House-passed version of the bill with the following changes: make the state funding that replaces lost federal funds effective immediately, but limit it to $9 million; and, create a Special Education Funding Task Force that would make recommendations to the Legislature each year. The motion passed in the House (101 to 19) on May 2, 2008, to adopt the conference committee report: to increase funding for K-12 education by increasing the state finance formula's BSAPP from the current $4,433 up to $4,492 for the 2009-2010 school year at an additional cost of at least $37.2 million; to increase state K-12 funding by $9 million to replace some of the reduction in federal tax support; and, to make changes to school consolidation law.
