Children
This bill creates a $20 child abuse prevention and child mental health surcharge and requires a court to impose the surcharge on each misdemeanor offense or count and on each felony offense or count when it imposes a sentence or places a person on probation. Of the surcharge $6 will be transferred to the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board for distribution as grants to organizations, and $14 will be transferred to DHFS for grants to counties with populations of less than 500,000 and to tribal governing bodies in the counties to promote collaborative programs that provide prevention, intervention, and treatment for alcohol and other drug abuse problems. If an inmate in a state prison or a person sentenced to a state prison has not paid the child abuse prevention and child mental health surcharge, DOC must assess and collect the amount owed from the inmate's wages or other moneys.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

Under current law, computers and computer-related equipment, cash registers, and fax machines are exempt from the imposition of property taxes. The state, however, provides aid to each taxing jurisdiction in which such property is located in an amount equal to the amount that the taxing jurisdiction would have received had such property been taxable. The full amount of the state aid payments are paid on or before the first Monday in May. Under this bill, beginning in 2007, the full amount of the state aid payments are paid on or before the 4th Monday in July.

education
Other educational and cultural agencies
Under current law, DOA administers an Educational Telecommunications Access Program under which DOA provides, or contracts for provision of, Internet access and two-way interactive video links to educational agencies. Under that program, an educational agency, subject to certain exceptions, may request access to either one data line for Internet access or one video link and is charged a monthly fee for that access. Any costs incurred by DOA that exceed that monthly fee are paid from the universal service fund, which is a separate trust fund that consists of contributions made by certain telecommunications providers and that is used to promote universal access to telecommunications services (universal service). In addition, DOA receives aid from a federal program that supports universal service, commonly referred to as the E-Rate Program, that DOA uses to pay administrative expenses and to reimburse the Building Commission for public debt incurred in providing educational technology infrastructure to school districts and public libraries.
This bill permits an educational agency that is eligible for a rate discount under the E-Rate Program, specifically an elementary school, a secondary school, or a library, to request data lines, video links, and bandwidth access in addition to what is provided under the Educational Telecommunications Access Program. The bill requires DOA to apply for aid under the E-Rate Program to cover the costs of those additional data lines and video links and that additional bandwidth access and, to the extent that the aid does not cover those costs, to require an educational agency to pay DOA a monthly fee that is sufficient to cover those costs.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
