of each levy to the sum of all fixed-sum levies within each school district, joint

vocational school district, or local taxing unit. (I) Notwithstanding divisions (D), (E), (G), and (H) of this section, in computing the

tax value loss, fixed-rate levy loss, and fixed-sum levy loss, the tax commissioner

shall use the greater of the 1998 tax rate or the 1999 tax rate in the case of levy

losses associated with the electric company tax value loss, but the 1999 tax rate

shall not include for this purpose any tax levy approved by the voters after June

30, 1999, and the tax commissioner shall use the greater of the 1999 or the 2000 tax

rate in the case of levy losses associated with the natural gas company tax value

loss. (J) Not later than January 1, 2002, the tax commissioner shall certify to the department

of education the tax value loss determined under divisions (D) and (E) of this section

for each taxing district, the fixed-rate levy loss calculated under division (G) of

this section, and the fixed-sum levy loss calculated under division (H) of this section.  The calculations under divisions (G) and (H) of this section shall separately display

the levy loss for each levy eligible for reimbursement. (K) Not later than September 1, 2001, the tax commissioner shall certify the amount of

the fixed-sum levy loss to the county auditor of each county in which a school district

with a fixed-sum levy loss has territory.
