FISCAL NOTE, 85TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 22, 2017

TO:
Honorable Larry Taylor, Chair, Senate Committee on Education
 
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
HB1081 by Arévalo (Relating to the new instructional facility allotment under the foundation school program.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would increase the allotment under the New Instructional Facilities Allotment (NIFA) of the Foundation School Program from $250 to $1,000 for each student in average daily attendance at an eligible facility. Existing Education Code §42.158(d) caps NIFA appropriations at $25 million annually; the bill would not adjust this statutory cap.

No significant fiscal impact to the state is anticipated due to the provisions of this bill.

The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.

Local Government Impact

School districts that receive funding under the New Instructional Facilities Allotment could receive an increase in state aid.
