Sec. 61.093.  DISBURSEMENTS.  (a)  In the exercise of the authority described in Section 61.092 of this code, the board may disburse to Baylor College of Medicine, during each scholastic year of disbursement, an amount equal to the average annual state tax support per undergraduate medical student at the established public medical schools, multiplied by the number of bona fide Texas resident undergraduate medical students enrolled at Baylor College of Medicine.  However, the board may never disburse an amount exceeding the amount appropriated by the legislature for this purpose.
(b)  Subject to the limitations described in Subsection (a) of this section, the board may establish, by contract with Baylor College of Medicine, the method by which the disbursement shall be accomplished, and may prescribe reasonable rules and regulations necessary to ascertain the average annual state tax support per undergraduate medical student at the established public medical schools.
(c)  Money appropriated for payment of contracts under the authority of Section 61.092 shall be paid to Baylor College of Medicine as follows:
(1)  40 percent of the yearly entitlement shall be paid in two equal installments to be made on or before the 25th day of September and October;  and
(2)  60 percent of the yearly entitlement shall be paid in six equal installments to be made on or before the 25th day of November, December, January, February, March, and April.
(d)  The amount of any installment required by this section may be modified to provide the Baylor College of Medicine and the Baylor College of Dentistry with the proper amount to which each college may be entitled by law and to correct errors in the allocation or distribution of funds.  If an installment under this section is required to be equal to other installments, the amount of other installments may be adjusted to provide for that equality.  A payment under this section is not invalid because it is not equal to other installments.
