| ID | Signed into law 03/2006 | P-12 | Provides for a $25 million Public School Facilities Cooperative Fund to remediate unsafe school facilities, as a last resort, if the school district has been unable or unwilling to solve the problem. Allows a district to apply to use the fund if they have attempted to pass a bond levy to address the problem and failed. Allows the division of building safety to apply on behalf of a school district, if the district cannot or will not act. State approval of a project, or a modified version of it, automatically refers the approved project to the voters in the district, for one last attempt at bond passage. Failure of the bond then triggers up-front state funding of the project, and directs state supervision of the school district, to last until the project is completed. State funding of a project will also trigger a property tax levy in the school district, the proceeds of which will be deposited back in the Public School Facilities Cooperative Fund. The amount that district taxpayers would pay into the fund would vary, depending on the levy rate, which is recalculated each year, and the district's relative wealth. Wealthier districts with low levy rates would
likely pay 100% of the project cost into the fund, while poorer districts with high levy rates would pay less. The levy could run for no more than 20 years, even if the
school district share of costs has not been fully paid within that time period. http://www3.state.id.us/oasis/H0743.html#billtext

| NM | Signed into law 03/2006 | P-12 | From Fiscal Note: The bill requires all school districts to have submitted a five-year facilities plan which includes enrollment projections, a current preventative maintenance plan, the capital needs of charter schools located in the district, and projections of facility needs to maintain a full-day kindergarten program prior to PSFA approving school construction or a district letting contracts for school construction. PSFA notes this is consistent with requirements currently in effect for districts applying for grant assistance. Provisions contained in the bill increase the current 3 to 9 percent caps currently in place on the amount of operational cash balances a public school district may retain to 5 to 15 percent depending on total program cost. School districts have complained the caps currently in place are unfair and are causing undue pressure with regard to expenditures which require the district to expend funds prior to requesting reimbursement. The committee substitute also provides for the secretary of education to waive all or a portion of reductions for excess cash balances if the funds are needed to provide a local match or to reduce the districts share of amounts granted for qualified high priority projects.
The Senate Finance Committee Substitute for the Senate Education Substitute for Senate Bill 450 is an omnibus public school capital outlay bill making changes to the public school capital outlay (PSCO) program, requiring school district master facilities plans, providing for certain
districts to receive assistance in developing and updating five-year facilities plans, providing for capital outlay fund local match assistance for qualified high priority projects, increases statutory caps on school district cash balances, and creates a fund to pay for new school one-time costs. The bill also provides funding to fully implement the lease payment assistance program, provides for use of PSCO funds to demolish abandoned buildings, changes the method with which high growth school construction is addressed, and provides funding to correct deficiencies at the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Handicapped and the New Mexico School for the Deaf. Also included in the bill are provisions increasing the SB-9 guarantee from $60.00 to $90.00 per unit, continuing the exempt status of Public School Facilities Authority (PSFA) employees, providing for PSFA to act as its own purchasing agent and creating a study committee and making
appropriations. Link to fiscal note: http://legis.state.nm.us/Sessions/06%20Regular/firs/SB0450.pdf
