     127A.51 Statewide average revenue. 

    By October 1 of each year the commissioner must estimate 
 the statewide average adjusted general revenue per resident 
 pupil unit and the disparity in adjusted general revenue among 
 pupils and districts by computing the ratio of the ninety-fifth 
 percentile to the fifth percentile of adjusted general revenue.  
 The commissioner must provide that information to all districts. 

    If the disparity in adjusted general revenue as measured by 
 the ratio of the ninety-fifth percentile to the fifth percentile 
 increases in any year, the commissioner shall recommend to the 
 legislature options for change in the general education formula 
 that will limit the disparity in adjusted general revenue to no 
 more than the disparity for the previous school year.  The 
 commissioner must submit the recommended options to the 
 education committees of the legislature by January 15. 

    For purposes of this section, adjusted general revenue 
 means the sum of basic revenue under section 126C.10, 
 subdivision 2; supplemental revenue under section 126C.10, 
 subdivisions 9 and 12; transition revenue under section 126C.10, 
 subdivision 20; and referendum revenue under section 126C.17.
