41060
. (a) The enactment of Article XIII A of the California
Constitution by the voters of California at the June 6, 1978, primary
election severely reduced the property taxing authority of local
school districts. The California Legislature has replaced that local
property taxing authority with state revenues derived from state
taxing authority. It is the intent of the Legislature that local
property tax revenues replaced by state funds are to continue to be
considered local effort for purposes of federal grants pursuant to
Public Law 81-874.
(b) For purposes of computing federal grants pursuant to Public
Law 81-874 which requires a local tax effort or maintenance of
effort, the fiscal year 1977-78 shall be used as a base year. The
percentage of local effort for fiscal year 1977-78 shall be
calculated as follows:
(1) The total amount of state and local funds earned by school
districts, as determined by Article 2 (commencing with Section 42230)
of Chapter 7 of Part 24 as it read prior to repeal by Chapter 282 of
the Statutes of 1979 shall be divided into the amount of local tax
receipts including tax relief subventions.
(2) The resultant percentage shall be used as the percent of local
effort or contribution.
