Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend Subchapter D, Chapter 49, Education Code, by adding section 49.1541 to provide credit for prepayment of the amount required to be paid by a school district for the purchase of attendance credit under the public school finance system. The proposed amendment would entitle a school district to receive a credit against the total amount required for the district to purchase attendance credit under Section 49.153. The credit would be equal to four percent of any amount required to be paid by the district if the district pays that amount not later than February 15 of the school year for which the agreement is in effect.
Methodology
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) based their analysis on the scenario in which all recapture districts would elect for the prepayment. The fiscal impact to the state would be $183.0 million in fiscal year 2024, $201.1 million in fiscal year 2025, increasing to $238.0 million in fiscal year 2028. The decrease in recapture is reflected as a savings in the table above because recapture is appropriated as a method of finance for the FSP in the General Appropriations Act. The reduction in recapture results in a cost to Foundation School Fund, No. 193.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
