Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.
Official fiscal-note agency context
No verified agency references are available from the latest parsed official fiscal material. KeepTXRed does not infer an administering agency from the bill topic or title.

KeepTXRed summary
HB 1939 was a House-passed school-finance proposal offering certain recapture-paying school districts a credit for paying required attendance-credit purchases early. The Senate did not pass it.
What would change
The proposal would have allowed an eligible district to reduce its required attendance-credit purchase payment by four percent of the amount paid if the district made the qualifying prepayment by February 15 of the applicable school year, after other applicable reductions.
Who may be affected
School districts subject to recapture, district taxpayers and finance officers, the Texas Education Agency, and the Foundation School Program.
When it would take effect
HB 1939 did not take effect. It passed the House and was considered in the Senate but did not receive final Senate passage before the 89th Regular Session ended.
Limits and uncertainty
The four-percent credit is not current law through HB 1939. The Legislative Budget Board projected a significant Foundation School Program cost if all eligible districts used it, but those fiscal estimates describe the failed proposal.
