Sec. 17.____.  Appropriation Reduction for School District Property Tax Relief. Notwithstanding the amounts appropriated by this Act, each appropriation of undedicated general revenue made by this Act for each fiscal year in the state fiscal biennium ending August 31, 2021, other than an appropriation made in Article III of this Act, is reduced by three percent.
