Father, grant them clarity of mind as they navigate the complexities of legislation. Father, help them to make decisions that honor You and serve the well-being of all people here in Texas. May their hearts be open to You at all times and may they lead with integrity, compassion, and justice. Father, give them courage to stand for what is right even when it is difficult and, Father, grant them humility to listen to the concerns of their constituents. Father, we ask that You would surround them with Your wise counsel and may Your spirit of peace lead their actions, which leads and results in unity for our state. Father, we also pray for their protection, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and for their families. Strengthen them in the midst of their responsibilities and may they find rest and renewal in Your presence. Father, we always trust in Your sovereign plan, and we ask that Your will be done through work of these good leaders. May they serve with a heart of service to You, to the people they represent.

President:  Following amendment, Secretary will read the amendment.

Secretary of the Senate:  Floor Amendment No. 2 by Creighton.

President:  Senator Creighton, on your amendment.

Senator Creighton:  Thank you, Mr. President and Members. This amendment ensures that all recapture districts will receive enough state aid to provide the pay raises required under the new teacher retention allotment and the new support staff retention allotment. Additionally, this amendment also ensures that districts that operate full-time virtual programs do not draw down support staff retention allotment funds for students who do not live in the district and are full-time virtual. I move adoption.

President:  Senator Menéndez, for what purpose?

Senator Menéndez:  Questions of the author—

President:  Do you yield?

Senator Menéndez:  —of the amendment, Mr. President.

Senator Creighton:  Of course, of course.

Senator Menéndez:  So, Senator Creighton, the way you laid out this amendment, you said that for districts that are recapture districts, they get to do what again? If you could lay that out for me again.

Senator Creighton:  Well, for, there was, in further review of the bill, there was a little bit of vagueness on whether or not tier two recapture districts would get the benefit of the flow of the dollars as we intend for the auxiliary employee raises and under the teacher allotment, retention allotment dollars as well. So, we are not only clarifying intent, we're putting an amendment on the bill to make sure it's very clear that these new dollars for tier two recapture districts flow for pay raises, as we intend, and flow directly to the employees we intend to give raises to.

Senator Menéndez:  Does this in any way change the runs that we've seen? Because we've been all looking at the runs to see how our districts are impacted, and I guess that's what we're all supportive of it. I'm just wondering does this dramatically change those runs at all?

Senator Creighton:  No, it, it just, you know, policy-wise, makes sure that the runs that we've seen are accomplished.

Senator Menéndez:  Okay. Alright, thank you. Thank you, Mr. President.

President:  Any objection to the amendment? Hearing none, the amendment is adopted. Members, if anyone wishes to speak on third reading, now is the time. Senator West, you wanted to ask a question or to speak on third reading?

Senator West:  A question.

President:  Senator Creighton, take a question?

Senator Creighton:  Of course.

Senator West:  Senator Creighton, we've discussed the school safety allotment, and it's been moved from Subchapter C to Subchapter D, and I've asked what is the impact of that and what have we done as it relates to, and what is the impact of it and what have we done in order to make certain that everybody understands what the impact is?

Senator Creighton:  That's right, Senator West. We wanted to, from our discussion last night on how the flow of the dollars through the safety allotment works, and as, certainly as the author and those, all of us supporting the bill how we intend for it to work. So, I appreciate that and we'll get some intent through our exchange in the record. Last night, Senator Menéndez actually had asked me a question about the safety allotment, and I indicated I might have a perfecting amendment related to that today. Senator West, you and I talked about that as well. When we reviewed the issue in more detail, we don't need a perfecting amendment. There's just a few key points that it would be good to have in, in the, in our exchange for intent. The school safety allotment is going up by $430 million as we discussed last night. This brings the total safety allotment over the biennium to 796 million total. This is correct given all the data that we have from the runs. Unrelated to school safety, a feature of the school finance system is that many allotments, but not all allotments, generate additional weighted funding under tier two. These are the golden and copper pennies that we always talk about, tier two funding can be spent on any purpose, it's not dedicated in any way. In this bill, districts get an additional tier two funding because of the increase in funding to the teacher incentive allotment. They will get additional tier two funding because of the increase in funding to CTE. They will get additional tier two funding because of the increase in funding to special education needs. And they will get also additional tier two funding because of the increase in funding in the small and midsize allotment. They'll get additional tier two funding and increases in early education allotments, supporting early literacy and numeracy, and also because the basic allotment is increased. The school, this is a school finance bill, and that means there's always interactions between the allotments that have to be accounted for to ensure the bill comes in without runaway costs and any unintended consequences. So, in this bill there are reductions in tier two related to the golden penny increment allotment change, and there are reductions in tier two from changes made to the school safety allotment. These changes balance out in the bill, ensuring that every district gets the money expected from each allotment, that every district gains financially, as we all have seen, and that the price point of the bill remains constant at $8.5 billion and that that reconciles with the rest of the budget. So, for clarity, districts are getting $430 million in new safety money. There's no offsetting reduction in the school safety allotment itself. The question raised had to do with unrelated tier two changes made to ensure that the bill maintained the structural goals and the overall fiscal budget itself.

Senator West:  I appreciate that explanation, but those unrelated changes will persist on an ongoing basis unless changed by us in upcoming sessions. Correct?

Senator Creighton:  That's correct, Senator West, and that's the appropriate intent that we need to place into the, to the Journal, and this exchange itself is very positive in that regard. So, thank you for bringing up those questions.

Senator West:  Well, thank you, also, but we need to make certain that schools have the necessary resources for the school safety allotment, and I think that the bill this session has those resources in, but we still need to obviously look at it on a going forth basis.

Senator Creighton:  That's absolutely our intent, we'll make sure of that. And as all of these allotments interact together, and there are any implications or recalibrations in tier two, we will make sure that the dollars flow as intended for the new safety allotment dollars flowing through HB 2.

Senator West:  And that may very well mean the other allotments are readjusted in order to make certain that one goes up, one goes down, but all of them stay in rhythm.

Senator Creighton:  It's not only correct, it's a very good point to cover on third reading, Senator West, and I appreciate you and Senator Menéndez leading on the discussion so that we can have this exchange today.

Senator West:  Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President.

SECTION 7.  It is the intent of the legislature that every provision, section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word in this Act, and every application of the provisions in this Act to each person or entity, is severable from each other. If any application of any provision in this Act to any person, group of persons, or circumstances is found by a court to be invalid for any reason, the remaining applications of that provision to all other persons and circumstances shall be severed and may not be affected. If a court finds invalid, for any reason, a prohibition under this Act on the purchase or acquisition of an interest in real property in this state by an individual described by Section 5.253(4), Property Code, as added by this Act, the court shall, notwithstanding the finding, construe this Act to prohibit the purchase or acquisition of an interest in real property in this state by an individual who is a citizen of a country other than the United States and is domiciled in a designated country described by Section 5.251(3), Property Code, as added by this Act.
