What is House Bill 3?
House Bill (HB 3) 3, a sweeping and historic school finance bill was passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019 and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott. The bill provides more money for Texas classrooms, increases teacher compensation, reduces recapture and cuts local property taxes for Texas taxpayers. HB 3 is one of the most transformative Texas education bills in recent history. The bill is the result of months of work beginning with the Texas Commission on Public School Finance and culminating in bipartisan work between the members of the Texas House and Senate.
We have posted a proposed version of the 2019-2020 Student Attendance Accounting Handbook: Version 2 that includes amendments to incorporate changes made by recent legislation, including House Bill 3, 86th Texas Legislature, 2019, on the Texas Education Agency (TEA) website at http://tea.texas.gov/index2.aspx?id=25769817607.
The public comment period for the proposed is from February 7, 2020 to March 9, 2020. Send a public comment on Proposed Amendment to 19 TAC §129.1025
