(a) Ancillary materials are defined as materials that a publisher plans to provide to school districts and open-enrollment charter schools free with their order of instructional materials from the list of adopted materials. Ancillaries are not evaluated in the review process and are not used to verify Texas essential knowledge and skills or Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines coverage. A publisher of adopted instructional materials shall provide any ancillary item free of charge to the same extent that the publisher provides the item free of charge to any state, public school, or school district in the United States. Any ancillary material may be part of a bundled package of materials, but each component of that package must be available for purchase individually.(b) The State Board of Education may impose a reasonable administrative penalty not to exceed $5,000 against a publisher or manufacturer that knowingly violates subsection (a) of this section.
