Short description: 
FUND EDUCATION FIRST ACT                                                   

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Fund Education First Act.  Beginning with fiscal year      
   2000, and in each fiscal year  thereafter,  provides  that  until  the      
   amount  appropriated  from  general  funds revenues for elementary and      
   secondary education for the fiscal year represents 50%  of  the  total      
   revenues  that  the  State  Superintendent  of Education estimates are      
   available from local, State, and federal sources  for  elementary  and      
   secondary  education  for that fiscal year, the amount appropriated by      
   the General Assembly from general funds revenues  for  elementary  and      
   secondary  educational programs for that fiscal year shall be at least      
   equal to the sum of (1) 50% of the growth in  general  funds  revenues      
   that  fiscal year, plus (2) the total amount appropriated from general      
   funds revenues  for  elementary  and  secondary  educational  programs      
   during the preceding fiscal year.  Establishes a minimum funding level      
   for  elementary  and secondary educational programs from general funds      
   revenues  for  subsequent  fiscal  years.    Requires  the   Governor,      
   beginning  with  fiscal  year 2001, to include in the annual budget an      
   allocation for education that conforms to the provisions of  the  Fund      
   Education First Act.  Effective immediately.
