Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 117, GENERAL PROVISIONS, page 487, proviso 117.42, after line 15, by inserting:
/ As required by Section 59-150-350(C)(2) of the 1976 Code, appropriations from the Education Lottery Account must be for educational purposes and programs only as defined in Section 59-150-350(D). These appropriations must be used to supplement and not supplant existing funds used for education. Based on this lottery test, the proportion of total recurring general fund and special fund revenues of the State expended in total for public elementary, secondary and higher education in any fiscal year must not be less than the proportion it was in the fiscal year immediately before the fiscal year in which education revenues are first received from a state lottery. Since the percentage in Fiscal Year 2000-01 was 56.7%, per statute all future budgets must appropriate at least 56.7% to education. This lottery test has been suspended by this proviso since 2011. If this test was not suspended for Fiscal Year 2018-19, an additional $351,000,000 would need to be appropriated for education. /
