Relating to the establishment of a public law school in El Paso County.
SB 3006 would allow a university system in Texas to establish a public law school in El Paso County, subject to approval by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The bill requires the university system to seek a feasibility study on accreditation, notify the coordinating board, and ensure community input before proceeding. It permits the school to offer standard law degrees, accept donations, and use bonds for facilities, but only one such law school may be created statewide. The bill does not guarantee funding, as establishment depends on available resources.
