§ 1601 School Fund Name Updates

This law says that whenever the terms “unapportioned county elementary school fund,” “county elementary school supervision fund,” “unapportioned county high school fund,” or “county school service fund” appear in any law, they all mean the same thing: the county school service fund.

Key Takeaways

  • •All four listed terms are treated as synonyms.
  • •The meaning is always the county school service fund, no matter which term is used.
  • •This rule applies to every law in the code, not just this section.

Example

A state bill talks about giving money to the “unapportioned county high school fund.”

Because of this law, that phrase is treated just like “county school service fund,” so the money goes into the county school service fund.
