No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Section 31.01 of the Tax Code, related to property tax bills.

Property tax bills (or separate statements) for other school districts would be required to include the percentages of M&O revenue for both the preceding and the current year that were derived from M&O taxes imposed by the school district, and the percentages of M&O revenue 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, 2020.
