| relating to procedures for the submission by school districts of | ||
| amended data through the Public Education Information Management | ||
| System. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 42, Education Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Section 42.0061 to read as follows: | ||
| Sec. 42.0061. PROCEDURES FOR SUBMISSION OF AMENDED DATA TO | ||
| PUBLIC EDUCATION INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (PEIMS). (a) To | ||
| promote the efficient and effective allocation of scarce school | ||
| resources, the commissioner shall permit each school district to | ||
| amend previous Public Education Information Management System data | ||
| submissions until the fifth anniversary of the date on which the | ||
| data was initially submitted for the purposes of providing accurate | ||
| data and recovering, in accordance with this section, any funds the | ||
| district is entitled to based on that accurate data. | ||
| (b) The commissioner shall appoint at least one contact | ||
| person in the agency to assist school districts with issues | ||
| involving recovery of funds based on an amended Public Education | ||
| Information Management System data submission. | ||
| (c) The commissioner shall maintain and make available the | ||
| application used for processing Public Education Information | ||
| Management System submissions as necessary to allow amended data to | ||
| be efficiently processed by a school district for purposes of this | ||
| section. | ||
| (d) A school district superintendent's certification of a | ||
| district's initial Public Education Information Management System | ||
| submission does not waive the district's right to amend the data for | ||
| purposes of this section. | ||
| (e) A third party with demonstrated competence in Public | ||
| Education Information Management System data and data analysis, | ||
| other than a certified public accountant, audit firm, or financial | ||
| audit firm, may prepare any amended data for submission under this | ||
| section. | ||
| (f) A school district's superintendent must certify that | ||
| amended data is correct and has been prepared by a party with | ||
| demonstrated competence in Public Education Information Management | ||
| System data and data analysis. | ||
| (g) A school district must maintain documentation necessary | ||
| to verify the amended data in electronic form or paper copy. | ||
| (h) An initial Public Education Information Management | ||
| System submission and any amended submission may be used as | ||
| documentation to support the recovery of funding under this | ||
| section. All amended data must comply with business rules in effect | ||
| for the year for which the data is being amended. | ||
| (i) After a school district submits amended data evidencing | ||
| entitlement to recovery of funds, the commissioner shall promptly | ||
| pay the district by adjustment to the district's allotments for | ||
| each year affected. | ||
| (j) A school district is not required to run data reports | ||
| from previous year data systems. The district may use the state | ||
| supported Internet application used for Public Education | ||
| Information Management System submissions for processing amended | ||
| data under this section. | ||
| (k) The commissioner shall adopt rules to administer this | ||
| section. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013. | ||
