Proposing a constitutional amendment to condition a school choice program on federal reimbursement for border security.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to condition the implementation of a school choice program on federal reimbursement of state expenses relating to securing the border. The comptroller of public accounts must certify that Texas has received reimbursement from the federal government for border security costs before the program can be implemented.
