Texas HB5419 aims to eliminate inefficiencies in the Texas Education Agency to prioritize funding for public schools.

HB5419 mandates the Texas Education Agency to prioritize funding for public schools by eliminating inefficiencies. It requires the commissioner to prepare a zero-based budget every ten years, detailing agency activities and their costs. The bill also mandates the Sunset Advisory Commission to evaluate the agency's efficiency and effectiveness, including reviewing contracts since 2016. The commissioner must submit the budget to the governor and Legislative Budget Board, and it must be posted online.
