A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the receipt of financial benefits by school district
superintendents for services performed for business entities.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 11.201, Education Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
(e) A superintendent may not receive any financial benefit
for personal services performed by the superintendent for any
business entity that conducts or solicits business with the school
district. Any financial benefit received by the superintendent for
performing personal services for any other entity must be approved
by the board of trustees on a case-by-case basis in an open meeting.
SECTION 2. Section 11.201(e), Education Code, as added by
this Act, applies only to a contract between a superintendent of a
school district and a business entity that is entered into on or
after the effective date of this Act. A contract between a
superintendent of a school district and a business entity that is
entered into before the effective date of this Act is governed by
the law in effect on the date the contract is entered into, and the
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the
legislative session.
