AGENCY ADMINISTRATION
Subchapter D. STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
19 TAC §§1.60 - 1.67
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board adopts new §§1.60
- 1.67 concerning Agency Administration (Standards of Conduct) with changes
to §1.64 of the proposed text as published in the February 23, 2001 issue
of the
Texas Register
(26 TexReg 1625). §§1.60,
1.61, 1.62, 1.63, 1.65, 1.66, 1.67 are being adopted without changes and will
not be republished. Specifically, these new rules govern all aspects of conduct
of the Board and its employees in these relationships, including the administration
and investment of funds received for the benefit of the Board, the use of
an employee or property by the donor or organization, service by an officer
or employee of the Board as an officer or director of the donor or organization,
and monetary enrichment of an officer or employee of the agency of the donor
or organization.
There were no comments received concerning the new rules, however, it was
suggested that the Board may wish to authorize the Chair of the Board, instead
of the Commissioner, to cooperatively appoint a board of directors for a private
organization formed under §1.64. Section 1.64 has been changed to reflect
that suggestion.
The new rules are adopted under Texas Education Code, §61.027,
which provides the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board the authority
to adopt rules, Texas Education Code, §61.038, which authorizes the Board
to accept donations, and Texas Government Code, §2255.001, which authorizes
a state agency to adopt rules governing the relationship between a donor or
organization, and the agency and its employees.
§1.64.Organizing a Private Organization That Exists To Further the Duties and Purposes of the Board.
(a)
The Chair of the Board and the membership of a private
organization covered by these sections may cooperatively appoint a board of
directors for the organization. The Chair of the Board shall be a non-voting
member. Board employees may hold office and vote provided there is no conflict
of interest in accordance with all federal and state laws and Board policies.
This provision applies to the employee's spouse and children.
(b)
As an alternative to the method described in subsection
(a) of this section, the private organization may decide not to have its board
cooperatively appointed.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
