The Comptroller of Public Accounts adopts amendments to §8.1, concerning definitions, without changes to the proposed text as published in the April 18, 2014, issue of the Texas Register (39 TexReg 3035). The adoption amends the definition of "Act" and deletes the definitions of "enrolled", "financial need", "low income student", "nonprofit organization", "persistence rates", and "prevailing wages". These amendments are deemed necessary to implement provisions of House Bill 437, 83rd Legislature, 2013, which repealed the student scholarship and nonprofit organization grant programs administered as part of the Jobs and Education for Texans Grant Program. Subsequent paragraphs are re-lettered and additional changes are made for clarity and readability.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendments. The adoption is effective July 1, 2014.
