Chapter 21. Student Services
Subchapter E. Tuition Equal-
ization Grants Program
* 19 TAC 21.125
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board proposes an amendment to 21 125,
concerning the Tuition Equalization Grants
Program. The amendments proposed are for
the purpose of limiting the number of reme-
dial or developmental courses a grant recipi-
ent would be allowed to take and retain
eligibility for a grant. The change was sug-
gested as a way to ensure that persons un-
prepared for college-level work would have a
limited period of time for improving their skills
to college level.
Mack Adams, assistant commissioner, Stu-
dent Services, has determined that for thefirst five-year period the rule is in effect there
will be no fiscal implications for state or local
government as a result of enforcing or admin-
istering the rule.
Mr. Adams also has determined that for each
year of the first five years the rule is in effect
the public benefit anticipated as a result of
enforcing the rule will be to allow persons
admitted to college with inadequate academic
preparation to take up to the equivalent of
ono academic year of remedial work without
losing eligibility for a grant. Remedial work in
excess of the equivalent of one academic
year would result in loss of eligibility for a
grant. There will be no effect on small
businesses. There is no anticipated economic
costs to persons who are required to comply
with the rule as proposed.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted
to Dr. Kenneth H. Ashworth, Commissioner of
Higher Education, Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board, P. O. Box 12788, Austin,
Texas 78711
The amendment is proposed under Texas
Education Code, 61.229, which provides the
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
with the authority to adopt rules concerning
the Tuition Equalization Grant Program

that are affected by this rule.

dial or developmental courses if the total
of such courses attempted exceeds the

Part II. Texas Education
Agency
Chapter 67. State Adoption
and Distribution of
Instructional Materials
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) pro-
poses new 67.1, 67.4, 67.7, 67. 10, 67.21,
67.24, 67.27, 67.30, 67.33, 67.36, 67.39,
67.42, 67 45, 6748, 67 51, 67.54, 67.57,
67.60, 67.63, 67.66, 67.69, 67.72, 67.75,
67.78, 67.81, 67. 84, 67.87, 67.90, 67.101,
67.104, 67.107, 67.110, 67.113, 67.121, and
67.124, concerning state adoption and distri-
bution of instructional materials.
Under the new rules, the legislature and the
textbook publishing industry will receive ad-
vance notice of proposed expenditures for
instructional materials by category and by
year. A wider variety of instructional materials
will be available to students at a lower cost.
More up-to-date information will be included
in core curriculum areas. Production of "ancil-
lary" materials as marketing tools will be elim-
inated, and development of materials by
publishers will be targeted to student and
teacher materials submitted for review.
In a separate submission, TEA is proposing
the repeal of existing Chapter 67.
Marvin Veselka, associate commissioner for
curriculum, assessment, and textbooks, has
determined that for the first five-year period
the rules are in effect there will be fiscal
implications for state or local government as
a result of enforcing or administering the
rules. The effect on state government and the
publishing industry cannot be accurately de-
termined at this time. The fiscal implications
will depend on the six-year budget projection
adopted by the State Board of Education and
on the maximum costs to the state estab-
lished in the textbook proclamation. There will
be no effect on local government (school dis-
tricts).
Mr. Veselka and Criss Cloudt, associate com-
missioner for policy planning and evaluation,
have determined that for each year of the fist
five years the rules are in effect the public
benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing the
rules will be that students throughout the
state will have access to quality instructional
matenals. There will be no effect on small
businesses. There is no anticipated economic
cost to persons who are required to comply
with the rules as proposed.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted
to Criss Cloudt, Policy Planning and Evalua-
tion, 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin,
Texas 78701, (512) 463-9701. All requests
for a public hearing on the proposed rules
submitted under the Administrative Procedure
Act and the Texas Register Act must be re-
ceived by the commissioner of education not
more than 15 calendar days after notice of a
proposed change in the rules has been pub-
lished in the Texas Register.Subchapter A. General
