Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

Under current law, public junior college districts are authorized to make certain kinds of investments with funds obtained through the management and development of mineral rights. HB 1472 would allow public junior college districts to also invest these funds in any investment authorized to be made by a trustee in the Texas Trust Code.

Vote Recommendation Notes

HB 1472 neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
