As Filed


DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Currently, school districts with fewer than 5,000 students in average daily
attendance are eligible for adjustments to the basic allotment (Tier I)
funding.  This adjustment is found in Section 42.103(d) of the Education
Code, but was inadvertently drafted so that the adjustment formula was
removed from the statute after the 2000-2001 school year.  As proposed,
S.B. 1730 permanently places the formula in the statute as was originally
intended and as is provided in S.B. 1 of the 77th Legislature. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a
state officer, institution, or agency.
