Fiscal Analysis

The bill would make appropriations in fiscal year 2025 from General Revenue Fund 0001, State Highway Fund 0006, GR Account 0092 – Federal Disaster, Coronavirus Relief Fund 0325, Economic Stabilization Fund 0599, Sales Tax Guaranty Trust Account 0962, and Departmental Suspense Fund 0900 to pay certain miscellaneous claims and judgments against the state. 

The bill would take immediate effect. Section 5 of the bill (Economic Stabilization Fund) would only take effect if the bill receives a vote of two-thirds of the members present in each house of the Legislature, as required by the Texas Constitution.

Methodology

The costs in the above tables represent the increased appropriation authority in fiscal 2025 to pay the specific claims and judgments listed in the bill.
