Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1133 by Clardy (Relating to an election to revoke a county equalization tax imposed in certain counties.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Education Code to authorize the commissioners courts of certain counties to order an election on the question of revoking the county equalization tax.
Local Government Impact
The fiscal implications cannot be determined due to the actions of commissioners courts and the outcomes of any potential elections being unknown, but according to the Texas Education Agency, school districts in Gaines and Cochran Counties would lose a source of revenue if an election to revoke the county equalization tax were called and passed.
