A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the definition of "eligible school district" for |
|
|
purposes of the study of school district property values conducted |
|
|
by the comptroller of public accounts. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 403.3011(2), Government Code, is amended |
|
|
to read as follows: |
|
|
(2) "Eligible school district" means a school district |
|
|
for which the comptroller has determined the following: |
|
|
(A) in the most recent study, the local value is |
|
|
invalid under Section 403.302(c) and does not exceed the state |
|
|
value for the school district determined in the study; and |
|
|
(B) in the two studies preceding the most recent |
|
|
study, the school district's local value was valid under Section |
|
|
403.302(c)[; |
|
|
[(C) in the most recent study, the aggregate |
|
|
local value of all of the categories of property sampled by the |
|
|
comptroller is not less than 90 percent of the lower limit of the |
|
|
margin of error as determined by the comptroller of the aggregate |
|
|
value as determined by the comptroller of all of the categories of |
|
|
property sampled by the comptroller; and |
|
|
[(D) the appraisal district that appraises |
|
|
property for the school district was in compliance with the scoring |
|
|
requirement of the comptroller's most recent review of the |
|
|
appraisal district conducted under Section 5.102, Tax Code]. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|
to a study conducted under Section 403.302, Government Code, for a |
|
|
tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2026. A study conducted |
|
|
before that date is governed by the law in effect immediately before |
|
|
the effective date of this Act, and the former law is continued in |
|
|
effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2025. |
