If the calculation under this subdivision results in an amount below zero, there is no payment under this subdivision. (b) For 2021-2022, 2022-2023, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, for an intermediate district with a 3-year average special education millage revenue per pupil in the immediately preceding fiscal year that is less than $281.00 $296.00 and that is levying at least 60.0% of its maximum millage rate allowed under section 1724a of the revised school code, MCL 380.1724a, an amount computed by subtracting from $281.00 $296.00 the 3- year average special education millage revenue per pupil in the immediately preceding fiscal year, and, only if the millage levied by the intermediate district is less than 1, multiplying that amount by the number of mills levied divided by 1, and then multiplying that amount by the 3-year average membership in the immediately preceding fiscal year, and then subtracting from that amount the amount allocated under subsection (2) for the current fiscal year. If the calculation under this subdivision results in an amount below zero, there is no payment under this subdivision.

If the calculation under this subdivision results in an amount below zero, there is no payment under this subdivision. (d) For 2022-2023, 2023-2024, except as otherwise provided in this subsection, for an intermediate district with a 3-year average special education millage revenue per pupil in the immediately preceding fiscal year that is less than $296.00 and that is levying at least 60.0% of its maximum millage rate allowed under section 1724a of the revised school code, MCL 380.1724a, an amount computed by subtracting from $296.00 the 3-year average special education millage revenue per pupil in the immediately preceding fiscal year, and, only if the millage levied by the intermediate district is less than 1, multiplying that amount by the number of mills levied divided by 1, and then multiplying that amount by the 3-year average membership in the immediately preceding fiscal year, and then subtracting from that amount the amount allocated under subsection (2) for the current fiscal year. If the calculation under this subdivision results in an amount below zero, there is no payment under this subdivision. (8) The funds allocated under subsection (7) for 2023-2024 are a work project appropriation, and any unexpended funds for 2023-2024 are carried forward into 2024- 2025. The purpose of the work project is to continue to provide a special education millage incentive. The estimated completion date of the work project is September 30, 2025. (9) (8) As used in subsection (7): (a) "3-year average membership" means the 3-year average pupil membership for each of the 3 most recent fiscal years.
