| SECTION 1. Section 7.109, Education Code, is amended by | ||
| amending Subsection (d) and adding Subsections (e) and (f) to read | ||
| as follows: | ||
| (d) The State Board for Career and Technology Education may | ||
| allocate funds appropriated to the board by the legislature and | ||
| shall allocate as provided by Subsection (f) [ |

| State Board of Education, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating | ||
| Board, or another state agency specified by law. | ||
| (e) For purposes of allocating federal funds described by | ||
| Subsection (d), the State Board for Career and Technology Education | ||
| shall determine the relative student utilization of approved career | ||
| and technology education programs under Subsection (d). To assist | ||
| the State Board for Career and Technology Education in making that | ||
| determination, for each semester of each school year or academic | ||
| year, as applicable: | ||
| (1) the agency shall calculate the number of full-time | ||
| equivalent students enrolled at the secondary level in an approved | ||
| career and technology education program; and | ||
| (2) the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board | ||
| shall calculate the number of full-time equivalent students | ||
| enrolled at the postsecondary level in an approved career and | ||
| technology education program. | ||
| (f) The agency and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating | ||
| Board shall, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the State | ||
| Board for Career and Technology Education, provide the calculations | ||
| of student utilization of approved career and technology education | ||
| programs under Subsection (e) to the State Board for Career and | ||
| Technology Education. After receiving the calculations under this | ||
| subsection, the State Board for Career and Technology Education | ||
| shall determine the relative student utilization of approved career | ||
| and technology education programs and allocate funding to support | ||
| career and technology education at the secondary level and at the | ||
| postsecondary level in proportion to that relative student | ||
| utilization determination. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act to Section | ||
| 7.109, Education Code, applies beginning with an allocation of | ||
| federal funds made on or after the effective date of this Act, | ||
| except that the State Board for Career and Technology Education, in | ||
| making an allocation on or after that date, may allocate the funds | ||
| in a manner that deviates from the requirements of Section 7.109, | ||
| Education Code, as amended by this Act, to the extent necessary to | ||
| comply with a grant awarded or an agreement entered into before the | ||
| effective date of this Act under the Texas State Plan for Career and | ||
| Technical Education, 2008-2013, or to comply with federal law. | ||
