Our Father God, we give You thanks for showers and for sunshine and the lovely promise of Spring. We are grateful for good health, good friends and all other good things that we often take for granted. We thank You for the keen challenges of this day, for work in this place that demands our best. May we seek Your help, knowing that in partnership with You there will be no problem beyond solution. Strengthen our conviction that Your hand is upon us to guide us in working out Your purposes in this great State and beyond. As we cannot see the distant scene, make us willing to take one step at a time and leave the rest to You.
Amen

The Human Affairs Commission shall review the explanations and notify the Budget and Control Board of any agency not in satisfactory compliance with meeting its stated goals.

(a) The State Treasurer shall set aside in a special account any funds remitted in accordance with this provision.

(B) Any taxable property that has been submitted, assigned to, or is a part of, or pursuant to a bankruptcy proceeding must be excluded from the calculation of the 1989 index of taxpaying ability upon the request of a school district. Any school district applying for such adjustment must notify the Tax Commission by July 15, 1989 of the property in question. The Tax Commission must provide an adjusted index to the Department of Education, not later than July 31, 1989, which shall be implemented in concert with any other authorized adjustment to the 1989 index of taxpaying ability./
