| or state from the federal government to comply with the mandate; | ||
| (2) a list of all federal educational mandates for | ||
| which the federal government has not provided full payment or | ||
| reimbursement that results in expenditures accrued by a school | ||
| district or the state to comply with the federal educational | ||
| mandate; and | ||
| (3) recommendations to reduce the burden of federal | ||
| educational mandates on school districts. | ||
| SECTION 2. REPORT. Not later than December 31, 2020, the | ||

| elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas | ||
| Constitution. If this Act does not receive the vote necessary for | ||
| immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2019. | ||
