mandates in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of Article
XIII B of the California Constitution or of Section 17561 or for
reimbursement of court or federal mandates imposed on or after

this section.

prescribed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction and approved
by the Director of Finance.
(g) For the 1988-89 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
nothing in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) shall be so construed as
to require that the amount determined pursuant to subdivision (b) be
multiplied by the amount determined pursuant to subdivision (a) for
purposes of determining the amount of state aid included in school
district "proceeds of taxes" for purposes of this section.
