| (a) The regular meeting of the Board shall be held
the Thursday following the third Tuesday of alternate months beginning
in January.
(b) The Chair may call additional meetings of the Board
and is responsible for filing notice of meetings as required by Chapter
551, Government Code, and giving timely notice of meetings to members
of the Board. On the petition of two or more members of the Board,
the Chair shall call an additional meeting of the Board or cancel
a meeting.
(c) A planning session will be held regarding applications
pending before the Board on or before the second Tuesday of alternate

in advance of the additional Board meeting as is practicable, and
applications to be considered at additional meetings of the Board
will need to be submitted to the bond finance office pursuant to §181.3(a)
no later than ten business days in advance of the planning session
scheduled for the additional Board meeting.
(1) At a planning session, Board members, their designated
representatives, or their staff representatives may discuss pending
applications.
(2) Applicants may be required to attend a planning

addition to, their attendance at a planning session.
(d) At a meeting of the Board, the Board may allow
an applicant to make an oral presentation to the Board.
(e) At a meeting, the Board may, by order, resolution,
or other process adopted by the Board, approve an issuance of state
securities as proposed in a completed application; may approve an
issuance of state securities on conditions stated by the Board for
either a completed or incomplete application; or may fail to act on
a proposed issuance of state securities; and may approve tuition revenue
projects for financing.
(f) At a planning session or meeting, the Board may
discuss state securities under the state exemption process without
such security being required to follow the formal approval process
under §181.9(d) of this title.
(g) If the Board does not act on a proposed issuance
during the meeting at which the application is scheduled to be considered,
the application is no longer valid on the occurrence of the earlier
of the expiration of 45 days from the date of the meeting at which
the application was scheduled to be considered or immediately following
the Board's next meeting, if the Board fails to act on the proposed
issuance at that meeting. If an application becomes invalid under

unless expressly stated otherwise in the approval. A copy of the approval
letter shall be forwarded to the Office of the Attorney General. Issuers
must inform the Executive Director of any material changes to their
application. Such changes may prompt reconsideration of an application
approval by the Bond Review Board and require the application to come
before the Board prior to issuance.
(i) If applicable law requires the approval by the
Attorney General of an issuance of state securities that are not exempt
from review by the Board, Attorney General approval must be obtained
after approval by the Board.
