(2) Strike page 2, line 21, through page 3, line 11, and substitute the following: (c) Except as provided by Subsection (d), the agreement must provide that the repayment assistance the person receives before the person has been employed for five years as required by the agreement constitutes a loan that must be repaid unless the person completes the five years of employment and satisfies any other applicable conditions of the agreement. (d) The agreement must provide that the person is required to repay the amount of repayment assistance received, plus applicable interest and reasonable collection costs, if, before the person has been employed for five years as required by the agreement, the person's employment is terminated for a reason related to the person's job performance or the person voluntarily terminates employment. The agreement must provide that the person is not required to repay the amount of repayment assistance received if, before the person has been employed for five years, the person's employment is terminated for a reason that is not related to the person's job performance. The agreement must also provide that a person whose employment is terminated for a reason not related to the person's job performance is not eligible for additional repayment assistance unless the person is subsequently employed as an attorney by a district or county attorney's office that serves a rural county not later than the 91st day after the person's previous employment was terminated, and the person is not eligible for repayment assistance during the period between the date the person's previous employment was terminated and the date the person's subsequent employment begins. (e) The agreement must require the person to sign a promissory note acknowledging the conditional nature of the repayment assistance received and promising to repay the amount of that assistance received as provided by Subsection (d), plus applicable interest and reasonable collection costs, if the person does not satisfy the applicable conditions. The board shall determine the terms of the promissory note. To the extent practicable, the terms must be the same as those applicable to state or federally guaranteed student loans made at the same time. All amounts collected in repayment of a loan under this section, including interest, but excluding collection costs paid by the board to another person to collect or assist in collecting the amount, shall be deposited to the credit of the trust fund established by Section 61.958.
