from school who were transported to and from school in the base 
year because of extraordinary traffic hazards in the excess 
category,

of the predicted base cost, the district's adjusted authorized 
predicted cost per FTE shall be equal to the base cost.  
    (b) If the base cost of the district is more than five 
percent greater than the predicted base cost, the district's 
adjusted authorized predicted cost per FTE shall be equal to 105 
percent of the predicted base cost, plus 40 percent of the 
difference between (i) the base cost, and (ii) 105 percent of 
the predicted base cost.  However, in no case shall a district's 
adjusted authorized predicted cost per FTE be less than 80 
percent of base cost.  
    (c) If the base cost of the district is more than five 
percent less than the predicted base cost, the district's 
adjusted authorized predicted cost per FTE shall be equal to 95 
percent of the predicted base cost, minus 40 percent of the

subdivision 3a, 124A.12, subdivision 3a, 124A.14, subdivision 
5a, and 124A.20, subdivision 2, for levies certified in 1986. 
    (3) No reduction pursuant to this subdivision shall reduce 
the levy made by the district pursuant to section 124A.23, to an 
amount less than the amount raised by a levy of 12.5 mills times 
the adjusted gross tax capacity of that district for the 
preceding year as determined by the commissioner.  The amount of 
any increased levy authorized by referendum pursuant to section 
124A.03, subdivision 2, shall not be reduced pursuant to this 
subdivision.  The amount of any levy authorized by subdivision 
4, to make payments for bonds issued and for interest thereon, 
shall not be reduced pursuant to this subdivision.  
    (4) Before computing the reduction pursuant to this 
subdivision of the capital expenditure facilities levy 
authorized by section 124.244, subdivision 2, and subdivisions 
11c, 12, and 12a 124.243, the capital expenditure equipment levy 
authorized by section 124.244, the health and safety levy 
authorized by section 124.83, and subdivision 12a, and the 
community education levy authorized by subdivisions 8 and 8b, 
the commissioner shall ascertain from each affected school 
district the amount it proposes to levy for capital expenditures 
pursuant to section 124.244, subdivision 2, and subdivisions 
11c, 12, and 12a, and for community education pursuant to 
subdivisions 8 and 8b under each section or subdivision.  The 
reduction of the capital expenditure levy and the community 
education levy shall be computed on the basis of the amount so 
ascertained. 
     (5) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, any amounts 
received by districts in any fiscal year pursuant to sections 
298.018; 298.23 to 298.28; 298.34 to 298.39; 298.391 to 298.396; 
298.405; or any law imposing a tax on severed mineral values; 
and not deducted from general education aid pursuant to section 
124A.035, subdivision 5, clause (2), and not applied to reduce 
levies pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid by the 
district to the St. Louis county auditor in the following amount 
by March 15 of each year, the amount required to be subtracted 
from the previous fiscal year's general education aid pursuant 
to section 124A.035, subdivision 5, which is in excess of the 
general education aid earned for that fiscal year.  The county 
auditor shall deposit any amounts received pursuant to this 
clause in the St. Louis county treasury for purposes of paying 
the taconite homestead credit as provided in section 273.135. 
     Sec. 36.  Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 275.125, 
subdivision 11d, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 11d.  [EXTRA CAPITAL EXPENDITURE LEVY FOR LEASING 
BUILDINGS.] When a district finds it economically advantageous 
to rent or lease a building for a secondary vocational 
cooperative program and it determines that the capital 
expenditure facilities revenues authorized under section 124.243 
are insufficient for this purpose, it may apply to the 
commissioner for permission to make an additional capital 
expenditure levy for this purpose.  An application for 
permission to levy under this subdivision must contain financial 
justification for the proposed levy, the terms and conditions of 
the proposed lease, and a description of the space to be leased 
and its proposed use.  The criteria for approval of applications 
to levy under this subdivision must include:  the reasonableness 
of the price, the appropriateness of the space to the proposed 
activity, the feasibility of transporting pupils to the leased 
building, conformity of the lease to the laws and rules of the 
state of Minnesota, and the appropriateness of the proposed 
lease to the space needs and the financial condition of the 
district.  The commissioner must not authorize a levy under this 
subdivision in an amount greater than the cost to the district 
of renting or leasing a building for approved purposes.  The 
proceeds of this levy must not be used for leasing or renting a 
facility owned by a the district making the levy or for 
custodial or other maintenance services. 
      Sec. 37.  Laws 1987, chapter 398, article 6, section 19, 
subdivision 9, is amended to read: 
    Subd. 9.  [MAXIMUM EFFORT SCHOOL LOAN FUND.] For the 
maximum effort school loan fund there is appropriated: 
      $1,615,200 ..... 1988,
      $2,025,100 ..... 1989.
    These appropriations shall be placed in the loan repayment 
account of the maximum effort school loan fund for the payment 
of the principal and interest on school loan bonds, as provided 
in Minnesota Statutes, section 124.46, to the extent that money 
in the fund is not sufficient to pay when due the full amount of 
principal and interest due on school loan bonds.  The purpose of 
these appropriations is to ensure that sufficient money is 
available in the fund to prevent a statewide property tax levy 
as would otherwise be required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, 
section 124.46, subdivision 3.  Notwithstanding the provisions 
of Minnesota Statutes, section 124.39, subdivision 5, any amount 
of the appropriation made in this section which is not needed to 
pay when due the principal and interest due on school loan bonds 
shall not be transferred to the debt service loan account of the 
maximum effort school loan fund but instead shall cancel and 
revert to the general fund. 
    Any unexpended balance in fiscal year 1988 does not cancel 
but is available for fiscal year 1989. 
    Sec. 38.  [INSTRUCTION TO REVISOR.] 
    In subsequent editions of Minnesota Statutes, the revisor 
of statutes is requested to change the heading of section 
124.245, from "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE REVENUE" to "ADJUSTMENTS TO 
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AIDS." 
    Sec. 39.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    Sections 1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

are effective the day following final enactment.  Sections 2, 3, 
4, 5, 8, 12, 13, 27, 35, and 38 are effective for the 1989-1990
