Relating to certain prohibitions in relation to a student organization at a public institution of higher education receiving financial support from a foreign adversary.
This bill prohibits student organizations at Texas public universities from accepting financial support - including gifts or contracts - from foreign adversaries (countries identified as national security threats by U.S. intelligence or designated by Texas officials) or their agents. It requires organizations to annually certify compliance with this rule to their institution and mandates universities to terminate recognition of any violating group. The law explicitly allows student organizations to continue collecting member dues and fees but bars universities from providing benefits to noncompliant groups. It applies starting the 2025-2026 academic year, aiming to limit foreign influence on campus student groups.
