17.  Notwithstanding any other provision in statute or in this item, the Department of Education is directed to distribute $54,410,000 the first year and $56,620,000 the second year, which is the estimated collection amounts each year from an additional 1/4 cent of sales tax revenue, through the same methodology as the Standard of Quality Basic Aid account.

Explanation:

(This amendment provides an additional $54.4 million the first year and $56.6 million the second year from new sales tax revenues from the 1/4 cent collected directly into the SOQ Basic Aid account for distributions to the school divisions rather than using the exiting school-aged population distribution methodology for the 1 1/8 cent of sales tax revenues dedicated to public education.  This amendment also increases the SOQ Basic Aid payment by $10.0 million in the second year from the elimination of the tax credits that were set aside for the implementation of Educational Improvement Scholarship Tax Credits in the introduced budget.)
