Relating to reports by certain public institutions of higher education on fraud, waste, and abuse involving state resources.
HB 4763 requires public universities in Texas that already maintain fraud, waste, and abuse reporting systems to submit any received reports involving state resources to the state auditor's office within two business days. This applies specifically to institutions of higher education defined under Texas Education Code. The bill adds a new reporting requirement (Section 51.9762) to streamline oversight of state funds at these institutions. It would take effect on September 1, 2025, unless approved with a two-thirds vote.
