Recapture
Passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019, House Bill (HB) 3 made substantial changes to the 六合宝典 ISD's Chapter 49 (previously Chapter 41) recapture payment. House Bill 3 amended the Education Code to transfer certain sections from Chapter 41 to Chapter 49, and revised formulas used to determine excess local revenue under the FSP by adding Subchapter F, Chapter 48, Education Code, Section 48.257, Local Revenue in Excess of Entitlement. Texas Education Code, Chapter 49, provision recaptures local tax dollars from property-rich districts and redistributes the funds to property-poor districts; often referred to as 鈥渟hare the wealth鈥 or 鈥淩obin Hood鈥 plan.
六合宝典 ISD is considered a property-rich school district. In FY2022, nearly 53 percent of all local revenue collected from property taxes is estimated to be subject to recapture; FY2023 budget includes an estimate that 54.5 percent of all local tax revenue will be subjected to recapture. In FY2022, 六合宝典 ISD anticipates the district will submit $761.3 million to the state in recapture funds. From FY2001 to FY2022, 六合宝典 ISD will have paid the state of Texas close to $6.0 billion in recapture payments.
