under which a team may be disqualified from competition on the
basis of participation in an extracurricular activity by a team

competition if the school responsible for making a verification
fails to properly verify the team member's eligibility.  The rules
may also provide that a team is not disqualified from competition
if:

verified the team member's eligibility, based on the facts
available, or
            (2) an appropriate entity had previously ruled that the
team member was eligible.
      (i) A school responsible for making a verification shall
verify a student's grades:
            (1) independently of involvement by the student; and
            (2) on the basis of the official grade report.
      SECTION _____.  The University Interscholastic League shall
adopt rules as provided by Section 33.081 (h), Education Code, as
added by this Act, as soon as practicable after the effective date
