The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment. Sections 13, 18, 20, 21, 22, 25, 32 and 33 of the bill require a vote of two-thirds of the members present in each house of the Legislature, as provided by Section 49-g(m), Article III, Texas Constitution.
The bill provides for an increase in General Revenue Funds (Foundation School Fund No. 193) for the Foundation School Program (FSP) of $101.3 million in fiscal year 2014 and $100.4 million in fiscal year 2015 and a decrease in revenues associated with payments made by school districts required to take action to reduce property wealth under Chapter 41 of the Texas Education Code (recapture) of $8.6 million in fiscal year 2014 and $8.2 million in fiscal year 2015.

Contingent upon passage of legislation to amend the statutory schedule of payments to school districts through the FSP, school districts scheduled to receive the final installment of FSP entitlement for fiscal year 2013 in September of fiscal year 2014 under current law would receive that payment of $1.75 billion in August of fiscal year 2013 under the provisions of the bill.
The appropriation of $137,860,100 in Trauma Facility and EMS general revenue dedicated funds to the Department of State Health Services for the purpose of entering into an interagency contract with the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to provide the non-federal share of the Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) program will have a positive All Funds fiscal impact of $337,975,239 in fiscal year 2013 to hospitals participating in the Texas DSH program. The DSH program is a joint state-federal program reimbursed by the federal government at a state's Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP). The fiscal year 2013 Texas FMAP is 59.21%, meaning that the appropriation of $137,860,100 in non-federal funds will draw down an additional $200,115,139 federal funds, for an All Funds impact of $337,975,239. Although the DSH program is administered by HHSC, it is not reflected in the General Appropriations Act.
The bill would provide $15 million to the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor to assist units of local governments affected by wildfires and disaster-related events.
