BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 61.0904, Education Code, is amended to | ||
read as follows: | ||
Sec. 61.0904. REVIEW OF INSTITUTIONAL GROUPINGS. (a) At | ||
least once every 10 years, the board shall conduct a review of the | ||
institutional groupings under the board's higher education | ||
accountability system, including a review of the criteria for and | ||
definitions assigned to those groupings. | ||
(b) The board shall include within the board's higher | ||
education accountability system any private postsecondary | ||
educational institutions or private career schools and colleges in | ||
this state that offer degree programs. Regardless of whether the | ||
board is conducting a periodic review of institutional groupings as | ||
required by Subsection (a), the board shall determine whether to | ||
create one or more separate institutional groupings for entities to | ||
which this subsection applies. In implementing this subsection, | ||
the board shall: | ||
(1) consult with private postsecondary educational | ||
institutions and private career schools and colleges regarding the | ||
imposition of reporting requirements on those entities; and | ||
(2) adopt rules that clearly define the types and | ||
amounts of information to be reported to the board. | ||
(c) In advance of each regular session of the legislature, | ||
the board shall report to each standing legislative committee with | ||
primary jurisdiction over higher education regarding any entities | ||
to which Subsection (b) applies that do not participate in the | ||
board's higher education accountability system as provided by that | ||
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 | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2011. |
