ARTICLE ____. ABOLISHMENT OF THE TEXAS ENTERPRISE FUND
SECTION ____.01. (a) Sections 481.078 and 481.080, Government Code, are repealed.
(b) The repeal by this article of Sections 481.078 and 481.080, Government Code, does not affect the validity of any agreement between the governor and a grant recipient or entity to be awarded a grant entered into under Section 481.078 before the effective date of this article.
(c) On the effective date of this article, the Texas Enterprise Fund is abolished and the unexpended and unencumbered money from that fund shall be transferred to the credit of the foundation school fund.
(d) After the effective date of this article, unspent but encumbered money in the Texas Enterprise Fund at the time the fund was abolished is in the general revenue fund. If the money was deposited in the Texas Enterprise Fund as a gift, grant, or donation under Section 481.078(b)(3), Government Code, and is encumbered by the specific terms of the gift, grant, or donation, the money may be spent only in accordance with the terms of the gift, grant, or donation. If the money is encumbered because it has been awarded or otherwise obligated by agreement before the effective date of this article but under the terms of the award or agreement will not be distributed until a future time, the money shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the award or agreement. If the governor determines that the money will not be distributed in accordance with the terms of the award or agreement, the governor shall certify that fact to the comptroller. On that certification, the comptroller shall transfer that money in the general revenue fund to the credit of the foundation school fund.
(e) The money transferred to the foundation school fund under Subsections (c) and (d) of this section is appropriated to the Texas Education Agency for use during the 2011-2013 state fiscal biennium as follows:
(1) an amount equal to the difference between the total amounts appropriated for providing grants under Section 29.155, Education Code, by other Acts of the 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, and the amounts appropriated for that purpose by the 81st Legislature, Regular Session, 2009, adjusted for monetary inflation and student enrollment growth, to be used for providing the grants; and
(2) any money in excess of the amount appropriated under Subdivision (1) of this subsection to be used for other purposes of the Foundation School Program, as provided by Section 42.002, Education Code.
(f) Section 481.078, Government Code, is continued in effect for the limited purpose of supplying the necessary authority to administer Subsection (d) of this section.
