Huberty files House Bill 3, 'Texas Plan' to transform school finance
State Rep. Dan Huberty (R-Humble), chairman of the House Public Education Committee, recently filed House Bill (HB) 3, comprehensive legislation that fundamentally transforms the public school finance system in Texas.
HB 3 (also referred to as the “Texas Plan”) would invest $9 billion above enrollment growth and current law entitlement towards student achievement, teacher quality and property tax reform. It represents the first major rewrite of the state’s public school finance system undertaken without threat of a court order.
