district that received for the 2016-2017 or a preceding school year
additional state aid under Section 42.2516.
(b) A common school district to which this section applies
is entitled to the additional state aid that would have been
provided to the district for the current school year under Section
42.2516, as that section existed on January 1, 2017, if the district
demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the commissioner, that the
failure to receive that state aid would require the district to
close at least one campus.
(c) The commissioner shall adopt rules necessary to
implement this section.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017, 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 effect on that
date, this Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the
