Indiana Code Title 20. Education § 20-43-2-2

Sec. 2. (a) The maximum state distribution for a state fiscal year for all school corporations for the purposes described in section 3 of this chapter is the amount appropriated by the general assembly for those purposes for that state fiscal year.

(b) If the budget director, after review by the budget committee, makes a determination that the amount of the distribution for a state fiscal year for all school corporations for the purposes described in section 3 of this chapter exceeds the amount appropriated for these purposes for the state fiscal year, the budget agency shall transfer money from the state tuition reserve account to the state general fund to cover the difference. However, the maximum amount that may be transferred to the state general fund for the state fiscal year may not exceed:

(c) Any amounts transferred under this section shall be used to augment the appropriation for state tuition support for the state fiscal year and shall be distributed to school corporations to make or restore the distributions for the purposes described in section 3 of this chapter.

(d) Transfers under this section are in addition to any transfers made from the state tuition reserve account under IC 4-12-1-15.7 or any other law.

(e) To the extent that the amount appropriated plus the amount transferred is less than the amount that would be distributed under this article, the total amount to be distributed for the purposes described in section 3 of this chapter to each recipient during the remaining months of the state fiscal year shall be proportionately reduced so that the total reductions equal the amount of the excess for the purposes described in section 3 of this chapter.
