IN RE:
HB351 by Faircloth (Relating to the creation of a commission to evaluate the potential continuation of additional state aid for tax reduction and recommend improvements to the public school finance system.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would create the Texas Commission on Public School Finance which would have the responsibility to develop and make recommendations for improvements to the current public school finance system or for new methods of financing public schools. The bill would require staff members of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to provide administrative support for the commission. The bill would abolish the commission on January 8, 2019.
