               CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
            
                          WHEREAS, School districts in counties along the state's Gulf 
         
            Coast are subject to greater expenses than their inland 
         
            counterparts; and
         
                          WHEREAS, Due to their geographical location, districts in 
         
            coastal counties are confronted with exceptional costs that are 
         
            expected to continue to rise; recent years have seen more frequent 
         
            and intense hurricanes and rainfall, leading to significant 
         
            expenditures for maintenance, renovations, and repairs; moreover, 
         
            insurance premiums are climbing as companies reassess risk in 
         
            regions that are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events; 
         
            and
         
                          WHEREAS, Currently, the recapture formulas of the public 
         
            school finance system do not take into consideration the elevated 
         
            expenses borne by school districts in counties along the Gulf 
         
            Coast; now, therefore, be it
         
                          RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas, 
         
            3rd Called Session, hereby request that the Lieutenant Governor and 
         
            the Speaker of the House of Representatives create a joint interim 
         
            committee to study issuance of credit against required recapture 
         
            payments for Gulf Coast county school districts with excess 
         
            facilities costs; and, be it further
         
                          RESOLVED, That the committee submit a full report, including 
         
            findings and recommendations, to the 89th Texas Legislature in 
         
            January 2025.
