(1)  On page 132, line 26, strike "Subsections (a-1) and 	(b-1)" and substitute "Subsections (a-1), (b-1), and (e-1)".

	(2)  On page 137, strike the text on lines 7-18 and 

substitute the following:

	(e)  Under rules adopted by the State Board of Education:               

		(1)  the agency shall release to each school district 

questions and answer keys to each assessment instrument 

administered under Subsections (a), (b), (c), and (l) and Section 

39.027 not later than the 30th day after the date results are 

released for that year under Subsection (h) or another law or rule, 

as applicable; and

		(2) [,]  every other year, the agency shall release the 

questions and answer keys to each assessment instrument 

administered under Subsection [(a), (b), (c),] (d)[, or (l)] after 

the last time the instrument is administered for that school year.

	(e-1)  To ensure a valid bank of questions for use in 

assessment instruments administered under Subsection (a), (b), 

(c), (d), or (l) or Section 39.027 each year, the agency is not 

required under Subsection (e) to release a question that is being 

field-tested and was not used to compute the student's score on the 

instrument.  The agency, under board rule, shall [also] release, 

after the last time an assessment instrument is administered for 

that school year[, under board rule], each question that is no 

longer being field-tested and that was not used to compute a 

student's score.
