2004 Senate Bill 1193

House Roll Call 1024: Passed

To authorize the transfer of $119.5 million from the General Fund to the School Aid Fund, to close an FY 2003-2004 and an FY 2004-2005 deficit in the latter. Also, to prohibit an Intermediate School District (ISD) "double dipping" scheme, in which certain special education staff are employed by both the ISD and the regular school district. This "shared-employment" allows the ISD (but not the staffers) to get more state money.
