Claitor SB No. 31
Proposed law requires the chief executive officer of each public postsecondary education
management board annually to report to the legislature every scholarship awarded by a
member of the management board for the preceding academic year. Provides that the report
shall be a public record and requires the management boards to make such reports available
on their websites. Requires certain information to be included in the report and provides that
such information shall be considered directory information by each public postsecondary
education institution. Prohibits the inclusion of personally identifiable information in
educational records in such reports.
Proposed law provides that the failure to submit the report as required by proposed law shall
suspend the power of all members of the management board to award scholarships until the
report has been submitted as required.
