§ 12.106. STATE FUNDING.  (a) A charter holder is 
entitled to receive for the open-enrollment charter school funding 
under Chapter 42 as if the school were a school district without a 
tier one local share for purposes of Section 42.253 and without any 
local revenue ("LR") for purposes of Section 42.302.  In 
determining funding for an open-enrollment charter school, 
adjustments under Sections 42.102, 42.103, 42.104, and 42.105 and 
the district enrichment tax rate ("DTR") under Section 42.302 are 
based on the average adjustment and average district enrichment tax 
rate for the state.
	(b)  An open-enrollment charter school is entitled to funds 
that are available to school districts from the agency or the 
commissioner in the form of grants or other discretionary funding 
unless the statute authorizing the funding explicitly provides that 
open-enrollment charter schools are not entitled to the funding.
	(c)  The commissioner may adopt rules to provide and account 
for state funding of open-enrollment charter schools under this 
section.  A rule adopted under this section may be similar to a 
provision of this code that is not similar to Section 12.104(b) if 
the commissioner determines that the rule is related to financing 
of open-enrollment charter schools and is necessary or prudent to 
provide or account for state funds.
