BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 11.201, Education Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (b-1) to read as follows: | ||
(b-1) A school district may not employ a superintendent for | ||
an annual salary in an amount that is greater than 125 percent of | ||
the amount of the annual salary authorized by the legislature for | ||
the governor. For purposes of this subsection, a superintendent's | ||
annual salary does not include an amount paid by the district as: | ||
(1) a bonus; or | ||
(2) an allowance or stipend. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 8.004, Education Code, is amended to | ||
read as follows: | ||
(a) The regional education service center board of | ||
directors shall employ an executive director. The selection and | ||
dismissal of the executive director is subject to the approval of | ||
the commissioner. The executive director is the chief executive | ||
officer of the regional education service center and may employ | ||
personnel as necessary to carry out the functions of the center. | ||
(b) A regional education service center may not employ: | ||
(1) an executive director for an annual salary in an | ||
amount that is greater than 75 percent of the amount of the annual | ||
salary authorized by the legislature for the governor; and | ||

an annual salary in an amount that is greater than 25 percent of the | ||
amount of the annual salary authorized by the legislature for the | ||
governor. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act applies to an employment contract that | ||
is entered into on or after September 1, 2019. | ||
An employment | ||

by the law as it existed at the time the contract was entered into, | ||
and the former law remains in effect for that purpose. | ||
