| AN ACT concerning education.
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Sections | 5 |
| 27-24.4 and 27-24.5 as follows:
| 6 |
| (105 ILCS 5/27-24.4) (from Ch. 122, par. 27-24.4)
| 7 |
| Sec. 27-24.4. Reimbursement amount. Each school district | 8 |
| shall be entitled
to reimbursement, for each pupil, excluding | 9 |
| each resident of the district
over age 55, who finishes either | 10 |
| the classroom instruction
part or the practice driving part of | 11 |
| a
driver education course that meets the minimum requirements | 12 |
| of this Act.
Such reimbursement is payable from
the Drivers | 13 |
| Education Fund in the State treasury.
| 14 |
| Each year all funds appropriated from the Driver Education | 15 |
| Fund to the
State Board of Education, with the exception of | 16 |
| those funds necessary for
administrative purposes of the State | 17 |
| Board of Education, shall be distributed
in the manner provided | 18 |
| in this paragraph to school districts by the State Board of | 19 |
| Education for reimbursement of
claims from the previous school | 20 |
| year. As soon as may be after each quarter of the year, if | 21 |
| moneys are available in the Driver Education Fund in the State | 22 |
| treasury for payments under this Section, the State Comptroller | 23 |
| shall draw his or her warrants upon the State Treasurer as | 24 |
| directed by the State Board of Education. The warrant for each | 25 |
| quarter shall be in an amount equal to one-fourth of the total | 26 |
| amount to be distributed to school districts for the year. | 27 |
| Payments shall be made to school districts as soon as may be | 28 |
| after receipt of the warrants.
| 29 |
| The base reimbursement amount shall be calculated by the | 30 |
| State Board by
dividing the total amount appropriated for | 31 |
| distribution by the total of:
(a) the number of students, | 32 |
| excluding residents of the district over age
55, who have |

| 1 |
| completed the classroom instruction
part for whom valid claims | 2 |
| have been made times 0.2; plus (b) the number
of students, | 3 |
| excluding residents of the district over age 55, who have
| 4 |
| completed the practice driving instruction part for whom valid | 5 |
| claims have
been made times 0.8.
| 6 |
| The amount of reimbursement to be distributed on each claim | 7 |
| shall be 0.2
times the base reimbursement amount for each | 8 |
| validly claimed student,
excluding residents of the district | 9 |
| over age 55, who
has completed the classroom instruction part, | 10 |
| plus 0.8 times the base reimbursement
amount for each validly | 11 |
| claimed student, excluding residents of the
district over age | 12 |
| 55, who has completed the practice driving
instruction part. In | 13 |
| no case, however, shall the amount of reimbursement
made on | 14 |
| account of any student exceed the per pupil cost to the | 15 |
| district
of the classroom instruction part and the practice | 16 |
| driving instruction part
combined. The school district which is | 17 |
| the residence of
a pupil who attends a nonpublic school in | 18 |
| another district that has furnished the driver
education course | 19 |
| shall reimburse the district offering the course, the
| 20 |
| difference between the actual per capita cost of giving the | 21 |
| course the
previous school year and the amount reimbursed by | 22 |
| the State.
| 23 |
| By April 1 the
nonpublic school shall notify the district | 24 |
| offering the course of the
names and district numbers of the | 25 |
| nonresident students desiring to take
such course the next | 26 |
| school year. The district offering such course shall
notify the | 27 |
| district of residence of those students affected by April 15.
| 28 |
| The school district furnishing the course may claim the | 29 |
| nonresident pupil
for the purpose of making a claim for State | 30 |
| reimbursement under this Act.
