  4         partial reduction of tax credits for

  5         contributions to nonprofit scholarship-funding

  6         organizations based on estimated student

  7         enrollment; specifying the total amount of tax

  8         credits and carryforward tax credits that may

  9         be granted for the 2003-2004 fiscal year;

10         providing an appropriation; providing for the

14  

15  Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:

16  

17         Section 1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of section

18  220.187, Florida Statutes, the total amount of tax credits and

19  carryforward tax credits that may be granted for the 2003-2004

20  fiscal year under that section for contributions to nonprofit

21  scholarship-funding organizations is $50 million.

22         Section 2.  The sum of $38 million is appropriated from

23  the General Revenue Fund for the purpose of supporting public

24  schools to the level of the base student allocation of the

25  2003-2004 Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP). These

26  funds shall be placed initially in unbudgeted reserve. If a

27  proration of the FEFP is necessary as a result of unexpected

28  fluctuations in either student enrollment or the tax roll

29  during the third or subsequent calculations of the FEFP, these

30  funds shall be released from unbudgeted reserve as needed to

31  reduce the proration.
