	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to an appropriation of money from the economic
	stabilization fund to be used for public education.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. The amount of $4 billion is appropriated from the
	economic stabilization fund to the Texas Education Agency for the
	Foundation School Program under Chapter 42, Education Code, for the
	state fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2013.
	SECTION 2. The amount of $1,400,000,000 is appropriated
	from the economic stabilization fund for the state fiscal biennium
	beginning September 1, 2013, to the Texas Education Agency for the
	purpose of restoring funding to grant programs administered by the
	agency to the level at which the programs were funded by the state
	for the state fiscal biennium ending August 31, 2011. If the amount
	appropriated under this section is insufficient to restore funding
	for each grant program to that level, the agency shall allocate
	funds to each program proportionately, based on the ratio of the
	amount that funds were reduced from the program to the total amount
	of reductions for all grant programs administered by the agency.
	SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013 if it
	receives a vote of two-thirds of the members present in each house
	of the legislature, as provided by Section 49-g(m), Article III,
	Texas Constitution.
