The Senate Finance Committee met today, March 22, to finalize Senate Bill 1 (SB1). SB1 will determine the State\u2019s general appropriations for the upcoming biennium. The Senate Finance Committee voted unanimously, 15-0, to approve SB1 and send it to the Senate floor. Senator Jane Nelson<\/a>, (R-Flower Mound) announced that SB1 will be presented to the full Senate for a vote next Tuesday, March 28.<\/p>\n

SB1 includes $311 million for TRS-Care. The funding is a product of savings from other programs identified by the Senate Finance Workgroup on health care costs. The $311 million is enough to cover an increase in the state contribution to TRS-Care. The increase would take the state\u2019s TRS-Care funding from 1 percent of active educator payroll to 1.25 percent. The proposed funding also would provide a small amount to help with the $1 billion TRS-Care budget shortfall. The $311 million is contingent on the passage of Senate Bill 788<\/a> by Senator Joan Huffman<\/a> (R-Houston), which makes structural changes TRS-Care.<\/p>\n

The House\u2019s version of the budget remains in committee and is included in two bills, HB1, the general appropriations bill, and HB2, the supplemental appropriations bill. HB 2 currently contains a $500 million dollar appropriation<\/a> that is contingent on a vote to access the money in the Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF). Accessing the ESF requires a 60 percent vote from both of the Legislature\u2019s houses.<\/p>\n
