Amend CSHB 1 as follows:
On page III-20, Texas Education Agency, amend Rider 57 as follows:
57.  Open Education Resource Instructional Materials. Out of funds appropriated above in Strategy B.2.1, Technology and Instructional Materials, the commissioner shall set aside $10,000,000 from the Technology and Instructional Materials Fund in each fiscal year of the biennium to issue a request for proposals for state-developed open education resource instructional materials under Texas Education Code Section 31.071. It is the intent of the legislature that the request should prioritize the procurement of materials in subject areas that constitute the bulk of school district purchases, including subject areas aligned with the State Board of Education curriculum revision schedule, advanced secondary courses supporting the study of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and courses commonly offered for dual credit under Texas Education Code Section 28.009 for which the agency determines that high-quality open education resource instructional materials are not readily available. The commissioner shall collaborate with the commissioner of higher education to ensure that the rigor level of any state-developed open education resource instructional materials for dual credit courses is reflective of collegiate expectations.
