Distribution
of specified federal mineral royalties.
Summary/Major Elements:
This act redistributed
federal mineral royalties from the school foundation program account to the
common school account within the permanent land fund.
The diversion would not occur
until the Hathaway and excellence in higher education endowments were funded as
provided in current law and would not occur unless there was a balance of $100
million in the school foundation program account at the end of the pertinent
fiscal year.
Comments:
The governor
vetoed this act. The veto message stated in part that the funds would be
unavailable for school funding needs in the future, including school capital
construction. The message also stated that the same movement of funds is
accomplished by the budget bill for the current biennium.
