Senate Bill 30 makes supplemental appropriations and reductions in appropriations and gives direction and transfer and other adjustment authority with respect to the General Appropriations Act adopted by the 87th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, and the supplemental appropriations acts adopted by the 87th Texas Legislature in the Regular, 2nd Called, and 3rd Called Sessions.
Senate Bill 30 reduces unencumbered appropriations for the 2022‑2023 state fiscal biennium from federal American Rescue Plan Act funds by $200 million, from the general revenue fund by roughly $170 million, and from the Foundation School Fund by nearly $8.42 billion. The bill makes supplemental appropriations for the 2022‑2023 state fiscal biennium totaling approximately $22.4 billion, of which $17.4 billion is from the general revenue fund; $4.7 billion is from federal funds; $221 million is from general revenue dedicated accounts; and $44.7 million is from various other sources. In addition, the bill appropriates slightly more than $1.3 billion in unexpended and unobligated balances remaining from various appropriations made by the 87th Texas Legislature; these appropriations are from the same sources and for the same purposes for which the original appropriations were made.
As part of the appropriations outlined above, Senate Bill 30 provides for a five percent pay raise for most state employees effective July 1, 2023, and adjusts the state salary schedule accordingly. Moreover, the bill sets the sum‑certain appropriation to the Foundation School Program for state fiscal year 2023 at $23,901,066,584.
