1-21 AN ACT
1-22 relating to the taxable value of property in certain school
1-23 districts.
1-24 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-25 SECTION 1. Section 16.252, Education Code, is amended by
1-26 adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
1-27 (f) For a school district that contracts for students
1-28 residing in the district to be educated in another district as
1-29 provided by Section 21.082 of this code, the taxable value of
1-30 property in the district is considered to be the taxable value of
1-31 property in the district determined under Section 11.86 of this
1-32 code minus the taxable value of property in the district that, if
1-33 multiplied by the tax rate under this section, raises an amount of
1-34 revenue equal to the total amount of tuition required to be paid
1-35 for the district's students under Section 21.082(b) of this code.
1-36 For a school district that contracts to educate students residing
1-37 in another district as provided by Section 21.082 of this code, the
1-38 taxable value of property in the district is considered to be the
1-39 taxable value of property in the district determined under Section
1-40 11.86 of this code plus the amount by which the taxable value of
1-41 property is reduced under this subsection for the district sending
1-42 students. If a school district contracts with more than one other
1-43 district to educate its students, the taxable value of property in
1-44 each district receiving students shall be increased proportionately
1-45 according to the percentage of those students that the district
1-46 receives.
1-47 SECTION 2. Section 16.503, Education Code, is amended to
1-48 read as follows:
1-49 Sec. 16.503. DEFINITION. (a) Except as provided by
1-50 Subsection (b) of this section, in <In> this subchapter, "taxable
1-51 value of property" is the value determined under Section 11.86 of
1-52 this code.
1-53 (b) "Taxable value of property" in a district that contracts
1-54 for students residing in the district to be educated in another
1-55 district or in a district that contracts to educate students
1-56 residing in another district, as provided by Section 21.082 of this
1-57 code, is the value determined under Section 16.252(f) of this code.
1-58 SECTION 3. This Act applies beginning with the 1993-1994
1-59 school year.
1-60 SECTION 4. The importance of this legislation and the
1-61 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-62 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-63 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-64 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-65 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-66 passage, and it is so enacted.
