2. Per (per Valerie Swanson): Cleans up formulas in the public school tax that the legislature overhauled in 2019 to ensure elderly/disabled Texans receive their rightful school district tax reductions;
3. Per Dennis Tibbs: This amendment does for HB3 what the 2007 amendment did for the statewide rate decrease in 2006, that had left out the Senior/Disabled freezes. Should be good;
