Sec. 43.017. USE OF COMMERCIAL BANKS AS AGENTS FOR COLLECTION OF INCOME FROM PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND INVESTMENTS. (a) The State Board of Education may contract with one or more commercial banks to receive payments of dividends and interest on securities in which the state permanent school funds are invested and transmit that money with identification of its source to the comptroller for the account of the available school fund by the fastest available means.
(b) In choosing each commercial bank with which to contract as authorized by Subsection (a), the State Board of Education shall assure itself of:
(1) the financial stability of the bank;
(2) the location of the bank with respect to its proximity to the banks on which checks are drawn in payment of dividends and interest on securities of the permanent school fund;
(3) the experience and reliability of the bank in acting as agent for others in the similar collection and expeditious remittance of money; and
(4) the reasonableness of the bank's charges for the services, both in amount of the charges and in relation to the increased investment earnings of the available school fund that will result from speedier receipt by the comptroller of the money.
