Each district to which an apportionment or apportionments has been made under this article shall repay the principal amount of such apportionment or apportionments and the accrued interest thereon in 20 equal annual payments. The first payment shall be made in the second fiscal year following the year in which the apportionment is made. In any year prior to the 1980–81 fiscal year in which the equal annual repayment exceeds that amount which seventeen and one-half cents ($0.175) per one hundred dollars ($100) of assessed valuation for each grade level (i.e. elementary or high school) operated by the district would raise during the year of the computation, the repayment shall be reduced to the amount which the seventeen and one-half cents ($0.175) for each grade level would so raise. In any year, beginning in the 1981–82 fiscal year, in which the equal annual repayment exceeds that amount which 0.04375 percent of the full value for each grade level operated by the district would raise during the year of the computation, the repayment shall be reduced to the amount which the 0.04375 percent of the full value for each grade level would so raise. The amount of the reduction in computed repayment shall be canceled on the books of the Controller. If more than one apportionment is made the annual amount payable shall be the sum of the amounts which would be payable on each amount if computed separately.
On or before the first day of January of each fiscal year the State Controller shall determine the annual repayment, if any, to be due from each district during the next succeeding fiscal year. The computation and collection procedures shall be in accordance with Sections 16080, 16089, and 16090.
