| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 12.104, Education Code, is amended by | ||
| adding Subsection (b-4) to read as follows: | ||
| (b-4) Section 11.201(c) applies to an open-enrollment | ||
| charter school as though the governing body of the school were the | ||
| board of trustees of a school district and to the superintendent or, | ||
| as applicable, the administrator serving as educational leader and | ||
| chief executive officer of the school as though that person were the | ||
| superintendent of a school district. | ||
| SECTION 2. Section 12.104(b-4), Education Code, as added by | ||
| this Act, applies only to a severance payment made by the governing | ||
| body of an open-enrollment charter school to a superintendent or | ||
| administrator serving as educational leader and chief executive | ||
| officer of the school under an agreement entered into on or after | ||
| the effective date of this Act. A severance payment made by the | ||
| governing body of an open-enrollment charter school to a | ||
| superintendent or administrator serving as educational leader and | ||
| chief executive officer of the school under an agreement entered | ||
| into before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in | ||
| effect at the time the agreement was made, and that law is continued | ||
| in effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. 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 | ||
| Act takes effect September 1, 2021. | ||
