| relating to state funding for school districts to which an | ||
| academically unacceptable school district is annexed. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 13.054, Education Code, is amended by | ||
| amending Subsection (f) and adding Subsections (i-1), (i-2), and | ||
| (i-3) to read as follows: | ||
| (f) For five years beginning with the school year in which | ||
| the annexation occurs, a school district shall receive additional | ||
| funding under this subsection or Subsection (h). The amount of | ||
| funding shall be determined by multiplying the lesser of the | ||
| enlarged district's local fund assignment computed under Section | ||
| 48.256 or the enlarged district's total cost of tier one by a | ||
| fraction, the numerator of which is the number of students residing | ||
| in the territory annexed to the receiving district preceding the | ||
| date of the annexation and the denominator of which is the number of | ||
| students residing in the district as enlarged on the date of the | ||
| annexation, and multiplying the resulting product by the quotient | ||
| of the enlarged district's maximum compressed tax rate, as | ||
| determined under Section 48.2551, for the current school year | ||
| divided by the receiving district's maximum compressed tax rate, as | ||
| determined under Section 48.2551, for the year in which the | ||
| annexation occurred. The commissioner shall provide the funding | ||
| under this subsection from funds appropriated for purposes of the | ||
| Foundation School Program. A determination by the commissioner | ||
| under this subsection is final and may not be appealed. | ||
| (i-1) Notwithstanding any other law, a school district is | ||
| entitled to funding under this section for an annexation that | ||
| occurs on or after June 1, 2013. | ||
| (i-2) For each school district entitled to funding under | ||
| this section as provided by Subsection (i-1) that, as of September | ||
| 1, 2023, has not received the full amount of funding to which the | ||
| district would have been entitled under this section if that | ||
| subsection had been in effect since June 1, 2013, the commissioner | ||
| shall: | ||
| (1) determine the difference between: | ||
| (A) the amount of funding to which the district | ||
| would have been entitled under this section if Subsection (i-1) had | ||
| been in effect since June 1, 2013; and | ||
| (B) the amount of funding the district has | ||
| received under this section; and | ||
| (2) provide the amount determined under Subdivision | ||
| (1) to the district in the form of: | ||
| (A) a lump sum; or | ||
| (B) equal annual installments over a period not | ||
| to exceed three years. | ||
| (i-3) This subsection and Subsection (i-2) expire September | ||
| 1, 2027. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023. | ||
