Sec. 42.262. TAX RATE CONVERSION FUND. (a) Each fiscal year, the commissioner shall identify amounts appropriated in the General Appropriations Act from the Foundation School Fund, to be deposited in the tax rate conversion fund in the general revenue fund. The amount identified by the commissioner shall be sufficient to provide additional state aid to school districts to which the compressed tax rate modified under Section 42.101(a-1) applies, in excess of the level of state aid to which the district would have been entitled had Section 42.101(a-1) not taken effect.
(b) For the purposes of state aid payments to school districts under this chapter, the tax rate conversion fund shall be considered to be used in the same manner as the foundation school fund.
