124A.31 Equitable compensation penalty.

Subdivision 1. Implementation. A school district subject to sections 471.991 to 471.999 shall implement the plan to establish equitable compensation relationships set forth in its report to the commissioner of employee relations. The plan shall be implemented by December 31, 1991, unless a later date is approved by the commissioner. If a report was filed before October 1, 1987, and had an implementation date after December 31, 1991, the date in the report shall be approved by the commissioner.

Subd. 2. Aid reduction for administration costs. By October 1, 1992, the commissioner of employee relations shall certify to the commissioner of education the school districts that have not complied with subdivision 1. For each of these school districts, the commissioner of education shall reduce general education aid for fiscal year 1993 by an amount equal to five percent of the district's administration costs for the 1990-1991 school year. If the reduction exceeds the district's general education aid, the reduction shall be made from other aids paid to the district.

Subd. 3. Adjustment of years. The commissioners of employee relations and children, families, and learning shall adjust the years designated in subdivision 2 for school districts with implementation dates after December 31, 1991.

Subd. 4. Extensions. The commissioner of employee relations must extend an implementation date upon a finding that failure to implement was attributable to severe hardship or to circumstances beyond the control of the district.
