RULE §61.1032Instructional Facilities Allotment

(s) Fixed-rate bonds. Computation for fixed-rate bonds shall be based on published debt service schedules as contained in the FOS or, for a private placement, in a supplemental filing with the TEA. Prepayment of a bond, either through an early call provision or some other mechanism, shall not increase the state's obligation or the computed state aid pursuant to the IFA. To the extent that prepayments reduce future debt service requirements, the computation of state aid shall also be appropriately adjusted.

(t) Reports required. The commissioner shall require such information and reports as are necessary to assure compliance with applicable laws.

  (1) The commissioner shall require immediate notification by a district of relevant financing activities as described in subsection (d)(7) of this section. Failure by a district to make such notification will result in the disqualification of debt service from IFA state aid as described in subsection (d)(8) of this section. A district is also required to report changes in use of bond proceeds or other actions taken by the district that might affect state funding requirements by submitting a complete amended application packet. Failure to submit the amended application packet will result in the suspension of IFA state aid payments for the applicable IFA allotment award, as described in subsection (d)(8) of this section.

  (2) A complete amended application packet, as prescribed by the commissioner, includes:

    (A) the appropriate schedules needed to identify the original IFA allotment award or the most recently approved revised allotment award, including the assigned document control number and changes to the title of the debt issuance, the authorization to issue the debt, and other relevant terms;

    (B) the appropriate schedules needed to describe changes in the use of the bond proceeds, if applicable;

    (C) the appropriate schedules needed to describe changes in debt service schedules to demonstrate present value savings;

    (D) an electronic copy of the FOS that is filed with the state information depository, or, if an FOS is not available, an electronic copy of the final bond order or other official document describing the relevant financing activity that is filed with the state information depository, including a final debt service schedule; and

    (E) an electronic copy of the letter from the attorney general approving the transaction that is filed with the state information depository, if the transaction required approval by the attorney general.

  (3) Receipt of the complete amended application packet is required before debt service payments on the relevant debt issuances will be qualified for IFA state aid.

  (4) Upon evaluation of the complete amended application packet, the TEA may request additional supporting documentation.
