Relating to the allocation and deposit of certain surplus state revenue to the property tax relief fund for use in reducing school district maintenance and operations ad valorem taxes.

HB 67 would require Texas to deposit half of any surplus state general revenue at the end of each biennium into a property tax relief fund. This fund would be used exclusively by the Texas Education Agency to reduce school district property taxes through adjustments to the state's "compression percentage" formula. The bill directly affects school districts and property taxpayers by creating a mechanism to lower maintenance and operations tax rates. It applies starting with the 2027-2029 state fiscal biennium and takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
