| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 11.26, Tax Code, is amended by adding | ||
| Subsections (a-4), (a-5), (a-6), (a-7), (a-8), and (a-9) to read as | ||

| (a-4) In this section, "maximum compressed rate" means the | ||
| maximum compressed rate of a school district as calculated under | ||
| Section 48.2551, Education Code. | ||
| (a-5) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, | ||
| if in the 2022 tax year an individual qualifies for a limitation on | ||
| tax increases provided by this section on the individual's | ||
| residence homestead and the first tax year the individual or the | ||
| individual's spouse qualified for an exemption under Section | ||
| 11.13(c) for the same homestead was a tax year before the 2019 tax | ||
| year, the amount of the limitation provided by this section on the | ||
| homestead in the 2022 tax year is equal to the amount computed by: | ||
| (1) multiplying the taxable value of the homestead in | ||
| the 2018 tax year by a tax rate equal to the difference between the | ||
| school district's tier one maintenance and operations rate for the | ||
| 2018 tax year and the district's maximum compressed rate for the | ||
| 2019 tax year; | ||
| (2) subtracting the greater of zero or the amount | ||
| computed under Subdivision (1) from the amount of tax the district | ||
| imposed on the homestead in the 2018 tax year; | ||

| attributable to improvements made in the 2018 tax year as provided | ||
| by Subsection (b) to the amount computed under Subdivision (2); | ||
| (4) multiplying the taxable value of the homestead in | ||

| district's maximum compressed rate for the 2019 tax year and the | ||
| district's maximum compressed rate for the 2020 tax year; | ||
| (5) subtracting the amount computed under Subdivision | ||
| (4) from the amount computed under Subdivision (3); | ||
| (6) adding any tax imposed in the 2020 tax year | ||
| attributable to improvements made in the 2019 tax year as provided | ||
| by Subsection (b) to the amount computed under Subdivision (5); | ||
| (7) multiplying the taxable value of the homestead in | ||

| district's maximum compressed rate for the 2021 tax year; | ||
| (8) subtracting the amount computed under Subdivision | ||
| (7) from the amount computed under Subdivision (6); | ||

| the 2021 tax year by a tax rate equal to the difference between the | ||
| district's maximum compressed rate for the 2021 tax year and the | ||
| district's maximum compressed rate for the 2022 tax year; | ||
| (11) subtracting the amount computed under | ||
| Subdivision (10) from the amount computed under Subdivision (9); | ||
