The bill would take effect January 1, 2000, contingent on the passage of a constitutional amendment authorizing the exemption. Methodology School Finance To estimate the fiscal impact on school finance the Legislative Budget Board's Public Education Team modeled the exemption of personal property by school district and the state's funding formulas. Model analysis is based on student enrollment data with an annual growth of approximately 2 percent, as well as tax rate and district property value assumptions. Local Government Taxing Units The estimate for local government taxing units are based on projections provided by the Comptroller of Public Accounts. Local Government Impact The fiscal impact on local taxing units is reflected in the above table. Source Agencies: LBB Staff: JK, BB, BR
