 11.17  operation, except expiration of the task force under subdivision 
 11.18  4, are governed by section 15.069. 
 11.19     Subd. 2.  [MEMBERSHIP.] Members are appointed by the

 11.31     (1) recommend to the legislature a mission statement for a 
 11.32  statewide system of adult basic education programs that includes 
 11.33  educational outcomes, services, eligible learners, requirements 
 11.34  for teacher licensing, expectations for student advancement and 
 11.35  progress, and recognition of the importance of distance learning 
 11.36  and other technology-based instruction methods;

 12.17  basic education funding system that rewards and recognizes 
 12.18  student progress in attaining educational goals; and 
 12.19     (8) review statewide grant applications for supplemental 
 12.20  services under section 124D.522. 
 12.21     Subd. 4.  [EXPIRATION.] The adult basic education policy 
 12.22  review task force expires on January 2, 2001. 
 12.23     Sec. 15.  [124D.523] [ADULT BASIC EDUCATION SUPPLEMENTAL 
 12.24  SERVICE GRANTS.] 
 12.25     (a) The commissioner, in consultation with the policy 
 12.26  review task force under section 124D.521, may make grants to 
 12.27  nonprofit organizations to provide services that are not offered 
 12.28  by a district adult basic education program or that are 
 12.29  supplemental to either the statewide adult basic education 
 12.30  program, or a district's adult basic education program.  The 
 12.31  commissioner may make grants for:  staff development for adult 
 12.32  basic education teachers and administrators; training for 
 12.33  volunteer tutors; training, services, and materials for serving 
 12.34  disabled students through adult basic education programs; 
 12.35  statewide promotion of adult basic education services and

 13.6   adult basic education services.  
 13.7      (b) The commissioner must establish eligibility criteria 
 13.8   and grant application procedures.  Grants under this section 
 13.9   must support services throughout the state, focus on educational 
 13.10  results for adult learners, and promote outcome-based 
 13.11  achievement through adult basic education programs.  The 
 13.12  commissioner may make grants under this section from funds 
 13.13  specifically appropriated for supplemental service grants.  Up 
 13.14  to one-third of the appropriation for supplemental service 
 13.15  grants must be used for grants for adult basic education 
 13.16  programs to encourage and support innovations in adult basic 
 13.17  education instruction and service delivery.  A grant to a single 
 13.18  organization must be for two years or less and cannot exceed 
 13.19  $100,000.  Nothing in this section prevents an approved adult 
 13.20  basic education program from using state or federal aid to 
 13.21  purchase supplemental services. 
 13.22     Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
 13.23  124D.53, subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 13.24     Subd. 3.  [AID.] For fiscal year 2000, adult basic 
 13.25  education aid for each approved program equals $2,295 for fiscal 
 13.26  year 2000 and $2,338 for fiscal year 2001 and later fiscal 
 13.27  years $1,767 times the number of full-time equivalent students 
 13.28  in its adult basic education program during the first prior 
 13.29  program year. 
 13.30     Sec. 17.  [124D.531] [ADULT BASIC EDUCATION AID.] 
 13.31     Subdivision 1.  [STATE TOTAL ADULT BASIC EDUCATION AID.] (a)
 13.32  The state total adult basic education aid for fiscal year 2001 
 13.33  equals $30,155,000.  The state total adult basic education aid 
 13.34  for later years equals: 
 13.35     (1) the state total adult basic education aid for the 
 13.36  preceding fiscal year; times 
 14.1      (2) the lesser of: 
 14.2      (i) 1.08, or 
 14.3      (ii) the greater of 1.00 or the ratio of the state total 
 14.4   contact hours in the first prior program year to the state total 
 14.5   contact hours in the second prior program year. 
 14.6      (b) The state total adult basic education aid, excluding 
 14.7   basic population aid, equals the difference between the amount

 14.9   aid under subdivision 2. 
 14.10     Subd. 2.  [BASIC POPULATION AID.] A district is eligible 
 14.11  for basic population aid if the district has a basic service 
 14.12  level approved by the commissioner under section 124D.52, 
 14.13  subdivision 5, or is a member of a consortium with an approved 
 14.14  basic service level.  Basic population aid is equal to the 
 14.15  greater of $4,000 or $1.80 times the population of the district. 
 14.16  District population is determined according to section 275.14.

 14.21  for each approved program equals the sum of: 
 14.22     (1) the basic population aid under subdivision 2 for 
 14.23  districts participating in the program during the current 
 14.24  program year; plus 
 14.25     (2)(i) for fiscal year 2001, 84 percent times the amount 
 14.26  computed in subdivision 1, paragraph (b), times the ratio of the 
 14.27  contact hours for students participating in the program during 
 14.28  the first prior program year to the state total contact hours 
 14.29  during the first prior program year; plus 
 14.30     (ii) for fiscal year 2002, 84 percent times the amount 
 14.31  computed in subdivision 1, paragraph (b), times the ratio of the 
 14.32  contact hours for students participating in the program during 
 14.33  the first and second prior program years to the state total 
 14.34  contact hours during the first and second prior program years; 
 14.35  plus 
 14.36     (iii) for fiscal year 2003, and thereafter, 84 percent 
 15.1   times the amount computed in subdivision 1, paragraph (b), times 
 15.2   the ratio of the contact hours for students participating in the 
 15.3   program during the first, second, and third prior program years 
 15.4   to the state total contact hours during the first, second, and 
 15.5   third prior program years; plus 
 15.6      (3) eight percent times the amount computed in subdivision 
 15.7   1, paragraph (b), times the ratio of the enrollment of students 
 15.8   with limited English proficiency during the prior school year in 
 15.9   districts participating in the program during the current 
 15.10  program year to the state total enrollment of students with 
 15.11  limited English proficiency during the prior school year in 
 15.12  districts participating in adult basic education programs during 
 15.13  the current program year; plus 
 15.14     (4) eight percent times the amount computed in subdivision 
 15.15  1, paragraph (b), times the ratio of the latest federal census 
 15.16  count of the number of adults aged 20 or older with no diploma 
 15.17  residing in the districts participating in the program during 
 15.18  the current program year to the latest federal census count of 
 15.19  the state total number of adults aged 20 or older with no 
 15.20  diploma residing in the districts participating in adult basic 
 15.21  education programs during the current program year.

 15.23  Notwithstanding subdivisions 2 and 3, the total adult basic 
 15.24  education aid for a program per prior year contact hour must not 
 15.25  exceed four times the rate per prior year contact hour computed 
 15.26  under subdivision 3, clause (2). 
 15.27     (b) For fiscal year 2002 and later, the aid for a program 
 15.28  under subdivision 3, clause (2), adjusted for changes in program 
 15.29  membership, must not exceed the aid for that program under 
 15.30  subdivision 3, clause (2), for the first preceding fiscal year 
 15.31  by more than the greater of 20 percent or $20,000. 
 15.32     (c) Adult basic education aid is payable to a program for 
 15.33  unreimbursed costs. 
 15.34     Subd. 5.  [AID GUARANTEE.] Notwithstanding subdivisions 1, 
 15.35  3, and 4, for fiscal year 2001, any adult basic education 
 15.36  program qualifying for aid under this section, that receives 
 16.1   less state aid than in fiscal year 2000 must receive additional 
 16.2   aid equal to the difference between its fiscal year 2000 aid and

 16.9   this section must maintain records that support the aid 
 16.10  payments.  The commissioner may audit these records upon 
 16.11  request.  The commissioner must establish procedures for 
 16.12  conducting fiscal audits of adult basic education programs 
 16.13  according to the schedule in this subdivision.  In fiscal year

 16.25  costs. 
 16.26     Subd. 9.  [FISCAL REPORTS.] Programs that receive aid under 
 16.27  this section must submit an annual report to the commissioner 
 16.28  that includes revenue and expense reports for each district and
