Revise school funding laws to clarify the legislature's authority related to inflationary adjustments

This bill clarifies the Montana Legislature's authority to adjust school funding amounts for inflation in ways that differ from the standard calculation currently required by law. It directly affects the state's public school funding system by amending existing statutes to allow lawmakers to set inflationary adjustments above the standard 3% cap or use alternative calculation methods. The key provision permits the legislature to exercise its lawmaking power to provide funding increases beyond the automatic formula based on consumer price index data, while the superintendent of public instruction continues to calculate the standard inflation factor for baseline entitlements. This change ensures that the state retains flexibility in determining school funding adjustments without removing the existing automatic calculation method for baseline amounts.
