BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 2171.055(f), Government Code, is amended | ||
to read as follows: | ||
(f) An officer or employee of a public junior college, as | ||
defined by Section 61.003, Education Code, of an open-enrollment | ||
charter school established under Subchapter D, Chapter 12, | ||
Education Code, or of a school district who is engaged in official | ||
business may participate in the commission's contract for travel | ||
services. The commission may charge a participating public junior | ||
college, open-enrollment charter school, or school district a fee | ||
not to exceed the costs incurred by the commission in providing | ||
services under this subsection. The commission shall periodically | ||
review fees and shall adjust them as needed to ensure recovery of | ||
costs incurred in providing services to public junior colleges, | ||
open-enrollment charter schools, and school districts under this | ||
subsection. The commission shall deposit the fees collected under | ||
this subsection to the credit of the public education travel | ||
account. The public education travel account is an account in the | ||
general revenue fund that may be appropriated only for the purposes | ||
of this chapter. The commission shall adopt rules and make or amend | ||
contracts as necessary to administer this subsection. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
