Surplus above 104 percent goes to school tax cuts. Starting September 1, 2029, after the 2028 election!
The bill orders the state comptroller to set aside general revenue above 104 percent of the prior two-year budget period's revenue and put it in the property tax relief fund. That money can only be appropriated to the Texas Education Agency to lower the state compression percentage, which cuts school district maintenance and operations property taxes. The duty does not apply until the two-year budget period that begins September 1, 2029, so no surplus moves under this bill before then.
