Amend CSHB 3646 on page 24, between lines 3 and 4, by
inserting the following new SECTION, appropriately numbered, and
renumbering the subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
SECTION ____. Section 42.152, Education Code, is amended by
adding Subsections (s), (s-1), (s-2), (s-3), (s-4) and (s-5) to
read as follows:
(s) In addition to the allotment provided under Subsection
(a), a school district is entitled to an annual allotment equal to
$650:
(1) for each student in average daily attendance who
has a parent or guardian who is serving on active duty in a combat
zone as a member of the armed forces of the United States; and
(2) for each student in average daily attendance who:
(A) has a parent or guardian serving on active
duty as a member of the armed forces of the United States; and
(B) has transferred to a campus in the district
during the school year as a result of a change in residence because
of an action taken under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. Section 2687).
(s-1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section,
a school district may use funds allotted to the district under
Subsection (s) only to provide supplemental programs and services
described by Subsection (c) or Subsection (f) for students
described by Subsection (s) who are enrolled in the district.
(s-2) The amount appropriated for allotments under
Subsection (s) may not exceed $9.9 million in a school year. If the
total amount of allotments to which districts are entitled under
Subsection (s) for a school year exceeds the amount appropriated
for allotments under that subsection, the commissioner shall reduce
each district's allotment under that subsection proportionately.
(s-3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter,
payments for allotments under Subsection (s) are made as
adjustments under Section 42.253(i). If the commissioner
determines that the amount appropriated for purposes of the
Foundation School Program exceeds the amount to which school
districts are entitled under this chapter, the commissioner shall
fund the adjustment for the allotments under Subsection (s) from
the excess funds.
(s-4) If the commissioner determines that the amount by
which the funds appropriated for purposes of the Foundation School
Program exceeds the amount to which school districts are entitled
under this chapter is not sufficient to provide for the allotments
under Subsection (s) as limited by Subsection (s-1), the
commissioner shall reduce the number by which the statewide average
taxable value of property per weighted student is multiplied for
purposes of Section 42.101(b) by the amount necessary to provide
the remaining funds. The commissioner shall include amount of the
reduction in the adjustments under Section 42.253(i) in the next
school year.
(s-5) Subsections (s), (s-1), (s-2), (s-3), (s-4), and this
subsection expire September 1, 2013.
