Methodology

The amounts identified above represent changes to previously authorized amounts and purposes for the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2019, with the exception of the appropriation of $636,000,000 from the Economic Stabilization Fund for the Texas Education Agency and the appropriation of $524,000,000 from the Economic Stabilization Fund for the Teacher Retirement System, which is made for the state fiscal biennium ending August 31, 2021. 

The 2020-21 Biennial Revenue Estimate (BRE) assumed a General Revenue fund transfer of
$211.0 to the Texas Tomorrow Fund in fiscal year 2020.  Because SB 500 appropriates that
amount to the Texas Tomorrow Fund from the Economic Stabilization Fund, there is a
corresponding General Revenue savings in fiscal year 2020.

The revenue loss to the Economic Stabilization Fund in every year represents the interest and investment loss due to the appropriations out of the fund.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
