BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Subchapter E, Chapter 42, Education Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Section 42.25162 to read as follows: |
|
|
Sec. 42.25162. ADDITIONAL STATE AID FOR CERTAIN COMMON |

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 |
|
|
legislative session. |
