TO: | Honorable Florence Shapiro, Chair, Senate Committee on Education |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1624 by Bivins (Relating to security requirements for the deposit of school district funds.), As Introduced |
The bill amends Section 45.201 of the Education Code and would eliminate a conflict in law between Section 45.201 and the Public Funds Collateral Act (PFCA). Currently, Section 45.201 excludes reducing principal balance securities as approved securities, while they are allowed under the PFCA. This bill would allow them.
In addition, the bill specifies that the security must be at least 110% of the amount of the deposit and the total market value of eligible securities must be reported at least once each month to the school district.
