A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the findings required to be made by the comptroller of

public accounts in order to recommend for approval an application

for a limitation on the taxable value of eligible property for

school district maintenance and operations ad valorem tax purposes

under the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation Act.

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

SECTION 1. Section 403.609(b), Government Code, as added by

Chapter 377 (H.B. 5), Acts of the 88th Legislature, Regular

Session, 2023, is amended to read as follows:

(b) The comptroller may not recommend an application for

approval unless the comptroller finds that:

(1) the proposed project that is the subject of the

application is an eligible project;

(2) the proposed project is reasonably likely to

generate, before the 20th anniversary of the first day of the

construction period, state or local tax revenue, including ad

valorem tax revenue attributable to the effect of the project on the

economy of this state, in an amount sufficient to offset the school

district maintenance and operations ad valorem tax revenue lost as

a result of the agreement;

(3)
for a proposed project other than a facility

described by Section 403.602(8)(A)(i)(b),
the agreement is a

compelling factor in a competitive site selection determination and

that, in the absence of the agreement, the applicant would not make

the proposed investment in this state; and

(4) if the application indicates that the eligible

project is proposed to be located in a qualified opportunity zone,

the project is located in the zone.

SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only

to an agreement entered into under Subchapter T, Chapter 403,

Government Code, as added by Chapter 377 (H.B. 5), Acts of the 88th

Legislature, Regular Session, 2023, pursuant to an application

submitted under that subchapter on or after the effective date of

this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
