 17.26  program year.  For fiscal year 2001 and later, adult basic 
 17.27  education aid for each approved program equals the sum of: 
 17.28     (1) the basic population aid under subdivision 7 for 
 17.29  districts participating in the program during the current 
 17.30  program year, plus 
 17.31     (2) 84 percent times the amount computed in subdivision 8, 
 17.32  paragraph (b), times the ratio of the contact hours for students 
 17.33  participating in the program during the first prior program year 
 17.34  to the state total contact hours during the first prior program 
 17.35  year, plus 
 17.36     (3) eight percent times the amount computed in subdivision 
 18.1   8, paragraph (b), times the ratio of the enrollment of students 
 18.2   with limited English proficiency during the first prior school 
 18.3   year in districts participating in the program during the 
 18.4   current program year to the state total enrollment of students 
 18.5   with limited English proficiency during the first prior school 
 18.6   year in districts participating in adult basic education 
 18.7   programs during the current program year, plus 
 18.8      (4) eight percent times the amount computed in subdivision 
 18.9   8, paragraph (b), times the ratio of the number of adults aged 
 18.10  20 or above with no diploma residing in districts participating 
 18.11  in the program during the current program year according to the 
 18.12  last federal census to the state total number of adults aged 20

 18.14  adult basic education programs during the current program year 
 18.15  according to the last federal census. 
 18.16     Subd. 5.  [AID GUARANTEE.] Notwithstanding subdivisions 3, 
 18.17  8, and 9, for fiscal year 1998 2001, any adult basic education 
 18.18  program qualifying for aid under subdivision 3, that receives 
 18.19  less state aid than in fiscal year 1997 2000 shall receive 
 18.20  additional aid equal to 80 percent of the difference between its 
 18.21  1997 2000 aid and the amount of aid under Minnesota Statutes 
 18.22  1997 Supplement, section 124.2601, subdivision 5.  For fiscal 
 18.23  year 1999, additional aid under this subdivision equals 80

 18.27  1998.  For fiscal year 2001, the additional aid under this 
 18.28  subdivision equals 40 percent of the additional aid computed for 
 18.29  fiscal year 1998.  For fiscal year 2002, the additional aid 
 18.30  under this subdivision equals 20 percent of the additional aid 
 18.31  computed for fiscal year 1998.  For fiscal year 2003 and later, 
 18.32  the additional aid under this subdivision equals zero its 2001 
 18.33  aid. 
 18.34     Subd. 7.  [BASIC POPULATION AID.] A district with a 
 18.35  population of less than 30,000 is eligible for basic population 
 18.36  aid if:  (1) the district levied for adult basic education for 
 19.1   revenue in fiscal year 1999; and (2) the district has a basic 
 19.2   service level approved by the commissioner under section 
 19.3   124D.52, subdivision 5, or is a member of a consortium with an 
 19.4   approved basic service level.  Basic population aid is equal to 
 19.5   the greater of $4,000 or $1 $1.80 times the population of the 
 19.6   district.  District population is determined according to 
 19.7   section 275.14.  Aid under this section is in addition to aid 
 19.8   under subdivision 3 and must be used for sites that meet the 
 19.9   approved basic service level under section 124D.52, subdivision 
 19.10  5. 
 19.11     Subd. 8.  [STATE TOTAL ADULT BASIC EDUCATION AID.] (a) The 
 19.12  state total adult basic education aid for fiscal year 2001 
 19.13  equals $31,400,000.  The state total adult basic education aid 
 19.14  for later years equals: 
 19.15     (1) the state total adult basic education aid for the 
 19.16  preceding fiscal year; times 
 19.17     (2) the lesser of (i) 1.08, or (ii) the greater of 1.00 or 
 19.18  the ratio of the state total contact hours in the first 
 19.19  preceding program year to the state total contact hours in the 
 19.20  second preceding program year. 
 19.21     (b) The state total adult basic education aid excluding 
 19.22  basic population aid equals the difference between the amount 
 19.23  computed in paragraph (a) and the state total basic population 
 19.24  aid under subdivision 7. 
 19.25     Subd. 9.  [ADULT BASIC EDUCATION AID LIMIT.] (a) 
 19.26  Notwithstanding subdivisions 3 and 8, the total adult basic 
 19.27  education aid for a program per prior year contact hour must not 
 19.28  exceed four times the rate per prior year contact hour computed 
 19.29  under subdivision 3, paragraph (b), except that, for a program 
 19.30  with four or more member school districts and fewer than 2,000 
 19.31  contact hours, the total adult basic education aid per prior 
 19.32  year contact hour must not exceed ten times the rate per prior 
 19.33  year contact hour computed under subdivision 3, clause (2). 
 19.34     (b) Notwithstanding subdivisions 3 and 8, for fiscal year 
 19.35  2002 and later, the adult basic education aid for a program, 
 19.36  adjusted for changes in program membership, must not exceed the 
 20.1   adult basic education aid for the first preceding fiscal year by 
 20.2   more than the greater of 20 percent or $20,000. 
 20.3      Subd. 10.  [PAYMENT OF AID TO FISCAL AGENT.] Adult basic 
 20.4   education aid must be paid directly to the fiscal agent of each 
 20.5   approved program.  An approved program must have only one fiscal 
 20.6   agent.
