Relating to authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds for certain capital projects at The University of Texas at El Paso.

SB 1017 authorizes The University of Texas System Board of Regents to issue up to $100 million in revenue bonds specifically for capital projects at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), including a student success building and related infrastructure like roads. The bonds will be secured by a pledged, irrevocable commitment of UTEP's revenue streams - such as student tuition charges - which must remain in place until the bonds are repaid. The bill also permits the UT System Board to transfer funds among its institutions to ensure equitable resource allocation for these projects. This legislation takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects UTEP's ability to finance campus improvements without increasing state appropriations.
