(WATSON-LINK-CRONIN-LIGHTFORD)

   105 ILCS 230/5-5                                                            

        Amends the  School  Construction  Law.   Provides  that  for  the      
   purpose  of  calculating the grant index, school districts are grouped      
   into 2 categories to compute equalized assessed valuation per pupil in      
   average daily attendance, one category using average daily  attendance      
   in  grades kindergarten through 8 and the other category using average      
   daily attendance in grades 9 through 12.  Effective immediately.            
          FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education)                               
          HB 2255 has no fiscal impact. Rather, it redistributes funds         
          among types of districts. Generally, it "takes" from elementary      
          and secondary districts and "gives" to unit districts. Thus,         
          the State share of a project will be greater for some districts      
          and less for others. To the extent that the total "cost" is a        
          net increase to the State it is within the context of a zero         
          sum system.  The school construction program is statutorily          
          limited by the amount of bonds that can be issued to make the        
          grants. Thus, the result is not additional State cost but fewer      
          projects.                                                            
          STATE MANDATES NOTE (State Board of Education)                       
          The change is effective upon HB 2255 becoming law provided that      
          the grant index for grants not yet made in FY01 and FY02 shall       
          be the greater of the current definition and the one provided        
          in the bill. The effect of HB 2255 is to equalize the ADA of         
          unit districts with that of elementary and secondary districts       
          generally.
