Committee Report (Unamended)



BACKGROUND 

This bill would allow Texas School for the Deaf employees the option of
receiving their pay in 12 equal monthly installments rather than 9.
Teachers at TSD and most teachers throughout the state already have this
option. 

PURPOSE

Allow all employees at the Texas School for the Deaf to receive a pay
check for 12 months rather than nine.  Their current salary would simply
be "leveled" in 12 equal monthly installments. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any
additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency or
institution.
