relating to additional state aid for certain common school | ||

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter E, Chapter 42, Education Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 42.25162 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 42.25162. ADDITIONAL STATE AID FOR CERTAIN COMMON | ||
SCHOOL DISTRICTS. (a) This section applies only to a common school | ||
district that received for the 2016-2017 or a preceding school year | ||
additional state aid under Section 42.2516. | ||
(b) A common school district to which this section applies | ||
is entitled to the additional state aid that would have been | ||
provided to the district for the current school year under Section | ||
42.2516, as that section existed on January 1, 2017, if the district | ||
demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the commissioner, that the | ||
failure to receive that state aid would require the district to | ||
close at least one campus. | ||
(c) The commissioner shall adopt rules necessary to | ||
implement this section. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017, if it | ||
receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each | ||
house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. | ||
If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for effect on that | ||
date, this Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the | ||
legislative session. |
