relating to the basic allotment under the foundation school program | ||
and the extension of additional state aid for tax reduction | ||
provided to certain school districts. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 42.101(a), Education Code, is amended to | ||
read as follows: | ||
(a) For each student in average daily attendance, not | ||
including the time students spend each day in special education | ||
programs in an instructional arrangement other than mainstream or | ||
career and technology education programs, for which an additional | ||
allotment is made under Subchapter C, a district is entitled to an | ||
allotment equal to the lesser of $5,140 [ |
||
results from the following formula: | ||
A = $5,140 [ |
||
where: | ||
"A" is the allotment to which a district is entitled; | ||
"DCR" is the district's compressed tax rate, which is the | ||
product of the state compression percentage, as determined under | ||
Section 42.2516, multiplied by the maintenance and operations tax | ||
rate adopted by the district for the 2005 tax year; and | ||
"MCR" is the state maximum compressed tax rate, which is the | ||
product of the state compression percentage, as determined under | ||
Section 42.2516, multiplied by $1.50. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 42.2516, Education Code, is amended by | ||
amending Subsections (b) and (c-1) and adding Subsections (j) and | ||
(k) to read as follows: | ||
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, but | ||
subject to Subsections (j) and (k), a school district that imposes a | ||
maintenance and operations tax at a rate at least equal to the | ||
product of the state compression percentage multiplied by the | ||
maintenance and operations tax rate adopted by the district for the | ||
2005 tax year is entitled to at least the amount of state revenue | ||
necessary to provide the district with the sum of: | ||
(1) the percentage specified by Subsection (i) of the | ||
amount, as calculated under Subsection (e), of state and local | ||
revenue per student in weighted average daily attendance for | ||
maintenance and operations that the district would have received | ||
during the 2009-2010 school year under Chapter 41 and this chapter, | ||
as those chapters existed on January 1, 2009, at a maintenance and | ||
operations tax rate equal to the product of the state compression | ||
percentage for that year multiplied by the maintenance and | ||
operations tax rate adopted by the district for the 2005 tax year; | ||
(2) the percentage specified by Subsection (i) of an | ||
amount equal to the product of $120 multiplied by the number of | ||
students in weighted average daily attendance in the district; and | ||
(3) any amount to which the district is entitled under | ||
Section 42.106. | ||
(c-1) Revenue generated by the portion of a district's | ||
maintenance and operations tax rate included in calculating the | ||
district's compressed tax rate under Section 42.101(a-1) and local | ||
share under Section 42.252(a-1) is included in determining the | ||
amount to which a district is entitled under this section, but may | ||
not increase the total amount of revenue per weighted student to | ||
which the district is entitled under this section. This subsection | ||
expires September 1, 2019 [ |
||
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a | ||
school district is entitled to receive additional funding under | ||
this section for the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years only if: | ||
(1) the district received additional funding under | ||
this section for the 2016-2017 school year; and | ||
(2) the district chose to apply Section 42.101(a-1) to | ||
the calculation of the district's compressed tax rate under Section | ||
42.101 for the 2016-2017 school year, if the district was eligible | ||
for that choice. | ||
(k) The amount appropriated for purposes of this section may | ||
not exceed $150 million for the 2017-2018 school year or $75 million | ||
for the 2018-2019 school year. If the total amount to which school | ||
districts are entitled under this section for a school year exceeds | ||
the amount appropriated, the commissioner shall reduce the amount | ||
each school district is entitled to under this section in the manner | ||
provided by Section 42.253(h). | ||
SECTION 3. Section 42.2518(a), Education Code, is amended | ||

Chapter 41 is less than the state and local revenue that would have | ||
been available to the district under Chapter 41 and this chapter as | ||
those chapters existed on September 1, 2015, if the increase in the | ||
residence homestead exemption under Section 1-b(c), Article VIII, | ||

Chapter 41 and this chapter as those chapters existed on September | ||
1, 2015, excluding any state aid that would have been provided under | ||
former Section 42.2516, if the increase in the residence homestead | ||
