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, which is made for the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2020. In addition, the appropriations of $658,210,000 from the Economic Stabilization Fund for the Teacher Retirement System, $684,000,000 from the General Revenue Fund for the Teacher Retirement System, and $148,725,414 from the General Revenue Fund for the Employee Retirement System are for the state 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.
Fee revenue collected from expedited permit review surcharges in excess of the BRE appropriated to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality was estimated by the Comptroller of Public Accounts.
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.
