Senate Bill 1046 amends the Education Code to reduce from 30 days to seven days the minimum amount of advance notice of a board meeting that the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must provide in the form of a detailed agenda mailed to the chairman of each governing board and the chief administrative officer of each public college and university. The bill amends the Government Code to extend to the coordinating board the same authority given college and university governing boards and the Board for Lease of University Lands to hold an open or closed meeting by telephone conference call under certain circumstances. The notice of a telephone conference call meeting must specify as the meeting location a conference or meeting room at the coordinating board's offices or at an institution of higher education.
