BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter C, Chapter 48, Education Code, is

amended by adding Section 48.121 to read as follows:

Sec. 48.121. SCHOOL UNIFORM ALLOTMENT. (a) Except as

provided by Subsection (c), for each student in average daily

attendance who attends a school at which school uniforms are

required, a school district is entitled to an annual allotment of

$100.

(b) Money allocated under this section may be used only to

provide uniforms to each student who is required to wear a uniform.

(c) In any school year in which the amount of money

appropriated for purposes of this section is less than the amount of

money to which school districts are entitled, the commissioner:

(1) may provide an allotment to a district under

Subsection (a) only if there is sufficient money to provide the

district the full amount to which the district is entitled under

this section; and

(2) shall prioritize districts that receive funding

under Title I, Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20

U.S.C. Section 6301 et seq.).
