Fiscal Analysis

The bill would make a supplemental appropriation to the Comptroller of Public Accounts of money received by the state from the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund under the American Rescue Plan Act.  The funds would be deposited to the state's unemployment compensation fund for the purpose of paying back outstanding advances received by the state from the federal government and returning the unemployment compensation fund to the statutory floor computed on October 1, 2021.

The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution.  If the bill does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, the bill would take effect on the 91st day after the last day of the legislative session.
