Methodology
The amounts above represent changes to previously authorized amounts and purposes for the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2019.
The revenue loss to the Economic Stabilization Fund in every year represents the interest and investment income loss due to appropriations out of the fund.
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.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
