A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to state assistance for instructional facilities in school 
districts with enrollment growth due to closure and realignment of 
military bases.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 46.006, Education Code, is amended by 
adding Subsection (c-1) and amending Subsection (d) to read as 
follows:
	(c-1)  A district's wealth per student is reduced by 25 
percent for purposes of this section if the district has had 
significant student enrollment growth that, as determined by the 
commissioner, is substantially related to the enrollment of 
children of military personnel transferred to a military base near 
the district following the closure or realignment of another 
military base under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 
1990 (10 U.S.C. Section 2687).  The reduction is in addition to any 
reduction under Subsection (a), (b), or (c) and is computed before 
the district's wealth per student is reduced under those 
subsections, if applicable.
	(d)  The commissioner shall adjust the rankings after making 
the reductions in wealth per student required by Subsections (a), 
(b), [and] (c), and (c-1).
	SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
