HB 3730 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the creation of the Texas Southern University College of Dentistry at Texas Southern University.

HB 3730 creates the Texas Southern University College of Dentistry as a new academic unit within Texas Southern University. The bill amends the Education Code to establish governance authority for the college under TSU's board of regents, allowing it to set dental courses, degrees, and management rules. It enables the college to accept gifts/grants, form affiliation agreements with other institutions, and use existing facilities for teaching and research. This bill directly affects TSU students pursuing dental degrees and the university's ability to operate a dental program. The legislation is procedural, focusing on institutional creation rather than substantive policy changes.
