SECTION 1. TREATMENT OF IMPACT AID PAYMENTS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Education shall treat any State 
as having met the requirements of section 5(d)(2)(A) of Public Law 81-
874 for fiscal year 1991, and as not having met those requirements for 
each of the fiscal years 1992, 1993, and 1994, if--
            (1) its program of State aid was not certified by the 
        Secretary under section 5(d)(2(C)(i) of Public Law 81-874 for 
        any fiscal year before fiscal year 1991;
            (2) the State submitted timely notice under that section of 
        its intention to seek that certification;
            (3) the Secretary determined that the State did not meet 
        the requirements of section 5(d)(2)(A) of Public Law 81-874 for 
        fiscal year 1991; and
            (4) it has made a payment to each local educational agency 
        in the State, other than any local educational agency that 
        received a payment for fiscal year 1991 under section 
        3(d)(2)(B) of Public Law 81-874, whose State aid it reduced for 
        that fiscal year, in the full amount of that reduction.
    (b) Repayment not Required.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, any local educational agency in such a State that received funds 
under section 3(d)(2)(B) of Public Law 81-874 for fiscal year 1991 
shall not, by virtue of subsection (a), be required to repay those 
funds to the Secretary.

            Passed the Senate January 26, 1996.
