1. For each fiscal year beginning on or after July 1, 2021, there is appropriated from the general fund of the state to the department of education an amount necessary to make all school district property tax replacement payments under this section, as calculated in subsection 2.

2. a. For the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, the department of management shall calculate for each school district all of the following::

(1) The regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1, 2012, multiplied by one hundred percent less the regular program foundation base per pupil percentage pursuant to section 257.1 for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021.

(2) The regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, multiplied by one hundred percent less the regular program foundation base per pupil percentage pursuant to section 257.1 for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021.

(3) The amount of each school district's property tax replacement payment. Each school district's property tax replacement payment equals the school district's weighted enrollment for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, multiplied by the remainder of the amount calculated for the school district under subparagraph (2) minus the amount calculated for the school district under subparagraph (1).

b. (1) For the budget year beginning July 1, 2022, the amount of each school district's property tax replacement payment shall be the product of the school district's weighted enrollment for the budget year multiplied by the per pupil property tax replacement amount for the budget year calculated under subparagraph (2).

(2) The per pupil property tax replacement amount for the budget year beginning July 1, 2022, is equal to the sum of one hundred fifty-three dollars plus the difference between the following:

(a) The regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1, 2022, multiplied by one hundred percent less the regular program foundation base per pupil percentage pursuant to section 257.1 for the budget year beginning July 1, 2022.

(b) The regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, multiplied by one hundred percent less the regular program foundation base per pupil percentage pursuant to section 257.1 for the budget year beginning July 1, 2022.

c. (1) For each budget year beginning on or after July 1, 2023, the amount of each school district's property tax replacement payment shall be the product of the school district's weighted enrollment for the budget year multiplied by the per pupil property tax replacement amount for the budget year calculated under subparagraph (2).

(2) The per pupil property tax replacement amount for budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2023, is equal to the sum of one hundred fifty-three dollars plus the difference between the following:

(a) The regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1, 2023, multiplied by one hundred percent less the regular program foundation base per pupil percentage pursuant to section 257.1 for the applicable budget year under this paragraph.

(b) The regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, multiplied by one hundred percent less the regular program foundation base per pupil percentage pursuant to section 257.1 for the applicable budget year under this paragraph.

3. School district property tax replacement payments shall be paid by the department of education at the same time and in the same manner as foundation aid is paid under section 257.16 and may be included in the monthly payment of state aid under section 257.16, subsection 2.
