86th Texas Legislature

Legislative Update – House Bill 3 Filed March 5th by Public Education Committee Chairman Dan Huberty Last week, Chairman Dan Huberty filed House Bill 3. That day Speaker Bonnen conducted a press conference to announce the bill, and Chairman Huberty and dozens of bill supporters and sponsors from the House chamber accompanied him. However, the Senate’s budget offers up $3.7 billion for teacher pay raises, enough for Texas school districts to pay every full-time teacher an additional $5,000 per year. It also includes $2.3 billion to pay for property tax relief. The House and Senate chambers are taking extremely different approaches.
