Relating to repeal of provisions requiring a school district to reduce its local revenue level in excess of entitlement.
HB 2079 repeals a requirement in Texas law that forced school districts to reduce their local revenue levels when those levels exceeded state entitlements. This bill directly affects Texas school districts, particularly those with home-rule status, by removing a specific provision (previously listed as subsection (R) in Section 12.013(b) of the Education Code) related to Chapter 49's revenue rules. The key mechanism is the deletion of language that previously mandated districts to adjust local revenue above entitlement levels. This change simplifies compliance for school districts regarding revenue management without altering state funding formulas. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on repealing this specific administrative requirement.
