HB 289 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a reduction of the amount by which certain school districts must reduce their local revenue levels in excess of entitlement under the public school finance system.

HB 289 would reduce the amount that certain school districts must lower their local revenue when it exceeds the state's public school funding allocation. This bill directly affects school districts currently required to cut local spending above the state's allocated funding level under the public school finance system. The key provision adjusts the calculation for required revenue reductions, making the mandated cut smaller for these districts. This change provides increased financial flexibility without altering the state's overall funding formula.
