(c)  In addition to the exemption provided by Subsection (b) [of this section], an adult who is disabled or is 65 or older is entitled to an exemption from taxation by a school district of $30,000 [$10,000] of the appraised value of the person's [his] residence homestead.

SECTION 5.02.  Section 11.26, Tax Code, is amended by amending Subsections (a), (a-10), and (o) and adding Subsections (a-11) and (a-12) to read as follows:

(a)  The tax officials shall appraise the property to which this section applies and calculate taxes as on other property, but if the tax so calculated exceeds the limitation imposed by this section, the tax imposed is the amount of the tax as limited by this section, except as otherwise provided by this section. A school district may not increase the total annual amount of ad valorem tax it imposes on the residence homestead of an individual 65 years of age or older or on the residence homestead of an individual who is disabled, as defined by Section 11.13, above the amount of the tax it imposed in the first tax year in which the individual qualified that residence homestead for the applicable exemption provided by Section 11.13(c) for an individual who is 65 years of age or older or is disabled. If the individual qualified that residence homestead for the exemption after the beginning of that first year and the residence homestead remains eligible for the same exemption for the next year, and if the school district taxes imposed on the residence homestead in the next year are less than the amount of taxes imposed in that first year, a school district may not subsequently increase the total annual amount of ad valorem taxes it imposes on the residence homestead above the amount it imposed in the year immediately following the first year for which the individual qualified that residence homestead for the same exemption, except as provided by Subsection (b). [If the first tax year the individual qualified the residence homestead for the exemption provided by Section 11.13(c) for individuals 65 years of age or older or disabled was a tax year before the 2015 tax year, the amount of the limitation provided by this section is the amount of tax the school district imposed for the 2014 tax year less an amount equal to the amount determined by multiplying $10,000 times the tax rate of the school district for the 2015 tax year, plus any 2015 tax attributable to improvements made in 2014, other than improvements made to comply with governmental regulations or repairs.]

(a-10)  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, if in the 2024 or a subsequent tax year an individual qualifies for a limitation on tax increases provided by this section on the individual's residence homestead, the amount of the limitation provided by this section on the homestead is equal to the amount computed by:

(1)  multiplying the taxable value of the homestead in the preceding tax year by a tax rate equal to the difference between the school district's maximum compressed rate for the preceding tax year and the district's maximum compressed rate for the current tax year;

(2)  subtracting the amount computed under Subdivision (1) from the amount of tax the district imposed on the homestead in the preceding tax year; [and]

(3)  adding any tax imposed in the current tax year attributable to improvements made in the preceding tax year as provided by Subsection (b) to the amount computed under Subdivision (2);

(5)  subtracting the amount computed under Subdivision (4) from the amount computed under Subdivision (3).

(o)  Notwithstanding Subsections (a)[, (a-3),] and (b), an improvement to property that would otherwise constitute an improvement under Subsection (b) is not treated as an improvement under that subsection if the improvement is a replacement structure for a structure that was rendered uninhabitable or unusable by a casualty or by wind or water damage. For purposes of appraising the property in the tax year in which the structure would have constituted an improvement under Subsection (b), the replacement structure is considered to be an improvement under that subsection only if:

(1)  the square footage of the replacement structure exceeds that of the replaced structure as that structure existed before the casualty or damage occurred; or

(2)  the exterior of the replacement structure is of higher quality construction and composition than that of the replaced structure.

The following bills were laid before the house and read second time:

HB 513, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance or marihuana causing death or serious bodily injury; creating a criminal offense; increasing a criminal penalty.

REPRESENTATIVE KLICK: Representative Metcalf, does HB 513 change the exemption for compassionate use products currently listed in Section 481.111(e) of the Health and Safety Code?

REPRESENTATIVE METCALF: HB 513 does not change the current exemption for compassionate use products in Section 481.111(e) of the Health and Safety Code.

KLICK: Does your proposed language in Section 2 include products legally obtained through the Compassionate Use Program under the defense to prosecution?

METCALF: Yes, the defense to prosecution in Section 481.141(c) of the Health and Safety Code would include products legally obtained through the Compassionate Use Program authorized in Section 487, Health and Safety Code, and Section 169, Occupations Code. Additionally, under the Occupations Code 169.0013 definitions, low-THC cannabis is not marihuana and HB 513 would not apply.

Representative Klick moved to print remarks between Representative Metcalf and Representative Klick on HB 513.

The motion prevailed.

HB 513 was passed to engrossment.

HB 1910, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the prosecution of the offense of forgery.

REPRESENTATIVE HERRERO: Representative Anchía, I support your bill. You and I spoke briefly, and I don't intend to hold up the house any longer, but just to make sure that nothing of what you proposed in this HB 1910 changes the intent requirement of the statute as it currently exists in law, is that correct?

REPRESENTATIVE ANCHÍA: Correct. Intent, or mens rea, is not disturbed. You have to knowingly engage in the act of passing this item of value.

HERRERO: Right, and as you and I have discussed, the matter in which you are trying to address is how some of these criminals that are committing these crimes are skating what the real intent was, which is to address the amount of forged documents that they may possess in which they are trying to utilize in a criminal way.

ANCHÍA: That's right. The forger may have $100,000 worth of forged money on their person. They try to pass a $100 bill—the current state of the law determined by the Sixth Circuit was you can only charge them with forgery for the $100 bill, but not the $100,000 that they have on their person. I've been working with the white-collar crimes division at the DA's office and they want to make sure that we create a presumption that says, "Hey, you have $100,000 of forged bills on you, you're going to be charged for the value of that $100,000 not the $10 that you passed."

HERRERO: Right. And just to reiterate, under the Penal Code, Chapter 32, Subchapter B Forgery, Section 32.21(b):  A person commits an offense if he forges a writing with intent to defraud or harm another. And again, your HB 1910 does not change that provision, is that correct?

ANCHÍA: You have to do so with that intention and knowingly.

Representative Herrero moved to print remarks between Representative Anchía and Representative Herrero on HB 1910.

The motion prevailed.

HB 1910 was passed to engrossment.
