A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to a limitation on the salary of superintendents of school
districts.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 11.201, Education Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (b-1) to read as follows:
(b-1) A school district may not employ a superintendent for
an annual salary in an amount that is greater than 125 percent of
the amount of the annual salary authorized by the legislature for
the governor. For purposes of this subsection, a superintendent's
annual salary does not include an amount paid by the district as:
(1) a bonus; or
(2) an allowance or stipend.
SECTION 2. This Act applies to an employment contract that
is entered into on or after September 1, 2019. An employment
contract that is entered into before September 1, 2019, is governed
by the law as it existed at the time the contract was entered into,
and the former law remains in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
