1.1                          A bill for an act 
  1.2             relating to children; providing for youth programs in 
  1.3             community education revenue; appropriating money; 
  1.4             proposing coding for new law in Minnesota Statutes,

  1.6   BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.7      Section 1.  [124D.211] [YOUTH PROGRAMS IN COMMUNITY 
  1.8   EDUCATION.] 
  1.9      Subdivision 1.  [YOUTH PROGRAMS IN COMMUNITY EDUCATION 
  1.10  REVENUE.] (a) Each district operating a community education 
  1.11  program under section 124D.19 may establish youth programs in 
  1.12  community education to maintain and expand participation by 
  1.13  school-age youth in supervised activities during nonschool 
  1.14  hours.  The youth programs in community education revenue must 
  1.15  be used for activities that support development of social, 
  1.16  mental, physical, and creative abilities of school-age youth. 
  1.17     (b) For the purposes of this subdivision, "population" of 
  1.18  the district means the same as under section 275.14. 
  1.19     (c) A district's youth programs in community education 
  1.20  revenue is determined as follows: 
  1.21     (1) $8 multiplied by the greater of 1,335 or the population 
  1.22  of the district not to exceed 10,000; and 
  1.23     (2) $2 multiplied by the population of the district in 
  1.24  excess of 10,000. 
  1.25     Subd. 2.  [YOUTH PROGRAMS IN COMMUNITY EDUCATION LEVY.] To 
  2.1   obtain youth programs in community education revenue, a district 
  2.2   may levy the amount raised by .003 times the adjusted net tax 
  2.3   capacity of the district.  If the amount of the youth programs 
  2.4   in community education levy exceeds the district's youth 
  2.5   programs in community education revenue, the amount of the youth 
  2.6   programs in community education levy is limited to the 
  2.7   district's youth programs in community education revenue.  If 
  2.8   the district does not levy the entire amount permitted, the 
  2.9   youth programs in community education aid must be reduced in 
  2.10  proportion to the actual amount levied. 
  2.11     Subd. 3.  [YOUTH PROGRAMS IN COMMUNITY EDUCATION AID.] A 
  2.12  district's youth programs in community education aid is equal to 
  2.13  the difference between the district's youth programs in 
  2.14  community education revenue minus the actual amount levied under 
  2.15  subdivision 2. 
  2.16     Sec. 2.  [APPROPRIATION.] 
  2.17     $10,000,000 is appropriated in fiscal year 2001 from the 
  2.18  general fund to the commissioner of children, families, and 
  2.19  learning for youth programs in community education aid under 
  2.20  Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.211, subdivision 3.
