Section 1. Paragraph a of subdivision 7 of section 3602 of the educa-

of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
a. In addition to the foregoing apportionment, there shall be appor-
tioned to any school district for pupil transportation, the lesser of
ninety per centum or the state share of its approved transportation
expense for the base year. The state share shall equal the sum of the
transportation sparsity adjustment and the transportation aid ratio, but
not less than six and one-half percent. The transportation aid ratio
shall equal the greater of (i) the product of one and two hundred
sixty-three thousandths multiplied by the state sharing ratio, (ii) an
aid ratio computed by subtracting from one and one hundredth the product
computed to three decimals without rounding obtained by multiplying the
resident weighted average daily attendance wealth ratio by forty-six
percent, where such aid ratio shall be expressed as a decimal carried to
three places without rounding [or], (iii) excluding cities with a popu-
lation of more than one million, an aid ratio computed by subtracting
from one and one hundredth the product computed to three decimal places
without rounding obtained by multiplying the number computed to three
decimals without rounding obtained when the quotient of actual valuation
of a school district, as defined in paragraph c of subdivision one of
this section, divided by the sum of the resident public school district
enrollment, the resident nonpublic school district enrollment and the
additional public school enrollment of the school district for the year
prior to the base year is divided by the statewide average actual valu-
ation per the sum of such total resident public school district enroll-
ment, nonpublic school district enrollment and additional public school
enrollment of all school districts eligible for an apportionment pursu-
