| relating to a temporary exemption for school districts from the | ||
| obligation to comply with certain unfunded state educational | ||
| mandates. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 11, Education Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Section 11.004 to read as follows: | ||
| Sec. 11.004. TEMPORARY EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN UNFUNDED | ||
| STATE EDUCATIONAL MANDATES. (a) In this section, "state | ||
| educational mandate" means a statutory provision the | ||
| implementation of which requires an expenditure by a school | ||
| district that would not have been required in the absence of the | ||
| statutory provision or a rule adopted under that provision. | ||
| (b) A school district is exempt from a state educational | ||
| mandate for which the legislature, for the state fiscal biennium, | ||
| has not appropriated money estimated to be sufficient to meet the | ||
| expenditure required by the mandate for that biennium unless the | ||
| mandate is necessary either to comply with federal law or to meet | ||
| eligibility standards for a federal entitlement that is sufficient | ||
| to meet the full expenditure required by the mandate, and the | ||
| federal law specifically contemplates action by a district for | ||
| compliance or eligibility. | ||
| (c) This section expires September 1, 2013. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2011. | ||
