Text of Adopted Repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 61, School Districts, Subchapter AA, Commissioner's Rules on School Finance, §61.1014, Additional State Aid for School Employee Benefits (PDF)SUMMARY: The rule action presented in this item will be filed as adopted with the Texas Register under the commissioner's rulemaking authority. This item adopts the repeal of 19 TAC Chapter 61, School Districts, Subchapter AA, Commissioner's Rules on School Finance, §61.1014, Additional State Aid for School Employee Benefits. The adopted repeal is necessary because of the repeal of the rule's authorizing statute, Texas Education Code (TEC), §42.2514. No changes were made to the rule since published as proposed. STATUTORY AUTHORITY: TEC, §42.2514, as repealed by House Bill (HB) 3646, 81st Texas Legislature, 2009. EFFECTIVE DATE: December 20, 2009. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ISSUES: The TEC, §42.2514, authorized the commissioner of education to adopt rules to implement the provision of additional state aid for school employee benefits. The commissioner exercised rulemaking authority to adopt 19 TAC §61.1014, Additional State Aid for School Employee Benefits, effective May 4, 2008. HB 3646, 81st Texas Legislature, 2009, made amendments to the TEC, §42.2516, Additional State Aid for Tax Reduction, which incorporated the funding previously delivered in a separate allotment for the state aid authorized under the TEC, §42.2514. Accordingly, the TEC, §42.2514, was repealed. Instead, state aid for school employee benefits will be included as part of a larger funding payment. The adopted repeal of 19 TAC §61.1014 implements the statutory changes by removing from rule a separate provision relating to additional state aid for school employee benefits. No changes were made to the rule since published as proposed. FISCAL IMPACT: The TEA has determined that there are no additional costs to persons or entities required to comply with the rule action. In addition, there is no direct adverse economic impact for small businesses and microbusinesses; therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis, specified in Texas Government Code, §2006.002, is required. PUBLIC AND STUDENT BENEFIT: The adopted repeal reflects statutory changes and removes obsolete provisions from rule. PROCEDURAL AND REPORTING IMPLICATIONS: The adopted repeal has no procedural and reporting implications. LOCALLY MAINTAINED PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS: The adopted repeal has no locally maintained paperwork requirements. PUBLIC COMMENTS: The public comment period on the rule action began October 9, 2009, and ended November 9, 2009. No public comments were received. ALTERNATIVES: None. OTHER COMMENTS AND RELATED ISSUES: None. Staff Members Responsible: Adam Jones, Deputy Commissioner, Finance and Administration/Chief Operating Officer Lisa Dawn-Fisher, Deputy Associate Commissioner, School FinanceFor additional information, email rules@tea.state.tx.us.
