Workshop

I need to check to see if this clause is actually in effect:

Wikipedia text: "An institution's superintendent, assistant superintendent, and director of security are authorized to reside in state-owned housing, each paying a fee determined by TYC. Other employees may also live in state-owned housing. The housing fees are used to maintain the housing."

Source: "Rider Comparison Packet Conference Committee on Senate Bill 1 2010-11 General Appropriations Bill Article V - Public Safety and Criminal Justice." V-22 (23/26). Retrieved on August 17, 2010. "13. State-owned Housing Authorized. As of September 1, 1998, the chief superintendent, assistant superintendent, and the director of security are authorized to live in state-owned housing at a rate determined by the commission. Other commission employees may live in state-owned housing as set forth in Article IX, § 11.05, State Owned Housing - Recover Housing Costs, of this Act. Fees for employee housing are hereby appropriated to be used for maintaining employee housing." WhisperToMe (talk) 01:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also "Board Meeting Minutes." (January 27, 2005) by TYC says: "Would authorize TYC to lease or purchase employee housing in locales where the recruitment or retention of employees is hampered by the unavailability of housing for them." WhisperToMe (talk) 01:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
