IN RE:
HB1890 by Capriglione (Relating to the information required to be included in or with a school district ad valorem tax bill.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill amends Section 31.01 of the Tax Code, related to property tax bills, to require on property tax bills (or on a separate statement) for school districts subject to recapture to include information regarding the percentage of maintenance and operation (M&O) taxes imposed for that year that is required to go to the state for the purchase of attendance credits and the percentage of these taxes that is not required to go to the state for that purpose. Property tax bills (or separate statements) for other school districts would be required to include the percentages of M&O revenue for the preceding and current year that was derived from M&O taxes imposed by the school district for each of those years and the percentage of that revenue for the preceding and current year derived from state funds.
The bill would not affect taxable property values, tax rates, collection rates, or any other variable which might affect the revenues of units of local governments or the state.
The bill would take effect January 1, 2018.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
