Subchapter K. REPORTS
19 TAC §17.101
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board adopts amendments
to §17.101, concerning Institutional Reports, without changes to the
proposed text as published in the March 3, 2006, issue of the
Texas Register
(31 TexReg 1403).
Specifically, these amendments increase the limits regarding submission
of projects for an institution’s Facilities Development Plan (MP1) to
match new standards set by the Bond Review Board.
The following comment was received regarding the amendments:
Comment. One comment was received from The University of Texas System Office
of Facilities Planning and Construction (OFPC) asking the Board to consider
raising the repair and renovation reporting threshold in the capital expenditure
plan (MP1) from the proposed $1 million to $2 million to allow consistency
with UT system's currently collected and maintained database.
Response. Article 9, §11.02 (d) of Senate Bill 1 specifically calls
for the threshold for repair and renovations of buildings and other facilities
estimated to exceed $1 million in the aggregate for a single state agency
or institution of higher education. No changes were made as a result of this
comment.
The amendments are adopted under the Texas Education Code, §61.027
and §61.0572.
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.
Filed with the Office of
the Secretary of State on April 26, 2006.

Subchapter C. HINSON-HAZLEWOOD COLLEGE STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM
19 TAC §§21.56, 21.61, 21.62
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board adopts amendments
to §§21.56, 21.61, and 21.62, concerning the Hinson-Hazlewood College
Student Loan Program, without changes to the proposed text as published in
the February 24, 2006, issue of the
Texas Register
(31 TexReg 1158).
Specifically, the amendment to §21.56 (Requirements of Cosigner/Accommodation
Party) adds the requirement that a cosigner of a loan must be a citizen or
permanent resident of the United States and must reside in the United States
or a territory of the United States. The amendment to §21.61 (Disbursements
to Students) removes the outdated and unnecessary requirement that a spouse’s
signature must be on the promissory note of a married borrower. The amendment
to §21.62 (Repayment of Loans) clarifies the way payments are to be applied,
as stated on the loan promissory note.
No comments were received regarding the amendments.

19 TAC §§21.401, 21.402, 21.404, 21.406
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board adopts amendments
to §§21.401, 21.402, 21.404, and 21.406, concerning the Texas College
Work-Study Program, without changes to the proposed text as published in the
February 24, 2006, issue of the
Texas Register
(31
TexReg 1159).
Specifically, the amendments to §§21.401, 21.402, and 21.404
broaden the scope of the mentorship program to include both tutors and persons
who are employed to help students on academic probation adjust to college
life. The amendment to §21.401 deletes the word "academic," as mentoring
is not restricted to academic tutoring. The amendment to §21.402 changes
the definition of "mentor" to include more than academic tutoring. The amendment
to §21.404 clarifies that students employed in a mentorship program must
meet the institution’s standards for employment as a mentor rather than
a tutor. The amendment to §21.406 states that institutions eligible to
receive federal Title V funds are also exempted from the requirement to provide
25 percent of an employed student’s wages.
No comments were received regarding the amendments.
The amendments are adopted under the Texas Education Code, §56.077,
which provides the Coordinating Board with the authority to adopt any rules
necessary to administer Texas Education Code, §§56.071 - 56.079.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
