SECTION 1D.__. Section 26.08, Tax Code, is amended by adding
Subsections (n) - (p) to read as follows:
(n) For purposes of Subsection (o), each chief appraiser
shall certify to the assessor for each school district
participating in the appraisal district:
(1) a final value for the school district as computed
using a residence homestead exemption under Section 1-b(c), Article
VIII, Texas Constitution, in the amount of $15,000; and
(2) a final value for the school district as computed:
(A) using a residence homestead exemption under
Section 1-b(c), Article VIII, Texas Constitution, in the amount of
$45,000; and
(B) taking into account the effect of the
reduction in the limitation on tax increases under Section 1-b(d),
Article VIII, Texas Constitution, made in connection with the
increase in the residence homestead exemption to the amount
described by Paragraph (A).
(o) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section to
the contrary, for the 2006 tax year the governing body of a school
district shall adopt a maintenance and operations tax rate that,
when applied to the district's taxable value of property certified
under Subsection (n)(2), yields an amount equal to the amount that
would be raised at a tax rate adopted in compliance with the
provisions of this section other than this subsection when applied
to the district's taxable value of property certified under
Subsection (n)(1). For the 2006 tax year, the rollback tax rate of
the district calculated under Subsection (i) or (k) is increased by
the additional rate required to yield the amount required by this
subsection.
(p) A maintenance and operations tax rate limitation imposed
by Section 45.003, Education Code, does not apply to a tax rate
adopted by the governing body of a school district in compliance
with this section for the 2006 tax year or for a subsequent tax
year.
