House Roll Call 306: The amendment was adopted

To prohibit the imposition after March 1 of the across-the-board “pro-rated” school aid cuts required under current law when tax revenue received by the School Aid Fund is not sufficient to cover previously appropriated state aid to school districts. Instead, the shortfall would have to be made up from the state General Fund, meaning that either cuts to other programs would have to be made, or taxes would have to be raised. Under Proposal A, the governor is required to make pro-rated cuts unless the legislature adopts a different formula.
