Fiscal Analysis

The bill as substituted would appropriate current law levels of funding to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for agency operations during the 2006-07 biennium.  The bill also would make a rider appropriation, contingent upon passage of school finance and property tax relief legislation by the 79th Legislature, 1st Called Session, to implement the provisions of that legislation.   Included in the contingent appropriation amount is $25 million in each year of the biennium for additional grants under the Instructional Facilities Allotment program.

 

Section 2 of the bill as substituted would coordinate the appropriation of funds to TEA between the bill and Article IX, Section 13.18 (Appropriation of Vetoed Funds) of Senate Bill 1, 79th Legislature, Regular Session, depending upon whether House Bill 1 receives the votes to take immediate effect or not.


Methodology

The bill would appropriate to the Texas Education Agency $11,278 million in General Revenue in 2006 and $11,036 million in General Revenue in 2007.  All Funds appropriations would be $16,593 million in 2006 and $16,547 million in 2007.

The contingent appropriation would be $1,788 million in General Revenue for the 2006-07 biennium.  This amount is not shown in the above tables.

Regarding Section 2, if House Bill 1 does not take immediate effect appropriations to the agency are reduced by $5.5 billion, with those funds remaining in Article IX so that they are available for distribution to school districts in September and October of 2005.


Technology

The bill would fund the computer and data systems of TEA at current levels for the 2006-07 biennium.

Local Government Impact

Local school districts would receive the bulk of funds from the appropriations contained in the bill, through the Foundation School Program, pass-throughs of federal funds, and other grant programs.
