House Author: Pitts et al. |

Effective: 8-9-05 |
Senate Sponsor: Ogden |
The governor vetoed funding for the Texas Education Agency (TEA) that was contained in the General Appropriations Act (Senate Bill 1, Regular Session). House Bill 1, 1st Called Session, appropriates approximately $31.1 billion to the TEA for the FY2006-FY2007 biennium and removes vetoed TEA funds from control by a General Appropriations Act provision that made its vetoed funds available for appropriation by budget execution. The bill sets out new riders relating to a learning through listening educational outreach program, the Renewing Our Communities Account, funding for technology grants, the Student Success Initiative, the per pupil allotment, and textbook proclamations. Another rider directs the Legislative Budget Board to make necessary adjustments to delineate TEA appropriation authority and expenditure requirements.
