Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the creation of a study group to evaluate the school district property value study conducted by the comptroller of public accounts.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a temporary study group to examine the school district property value study conducted by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. The study group will consist of six members (three from the Senate and three from the House of Representatives), appointed by the lieutenant governor and speaker of the house, respectively. The group's primary objectives are to evaluate how the property value study is used in distributing state financial aid for public education and to develop recommendations for better verifying the valuation of complex properties. The study group is authorized to request relevant information from the Comptroller, Texas Education Agency, appraisal districts, and taxing units. By December 1, 2026, the group must submit a comprehensive report to the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house, detailing their findings and recommendations. The study group will be automatically dissolved on January 1, 2027, effectively making it a time-limited investigative body focused on improving the accuracy and fairness of property value assessments for educational funding purposes.
