Bill Analysis
This bill would designate non-profit corporations that are established by the Texas Public Finance Authority, and provide tuition revenue bonds to charter schools, a governmental unit as defined by the Texas
Tort Claims Act. The bill subjects that nonprofit corporation to liability only as provided by that
act and only in the manner that liability is provided by that act for a school district. The bill
exempts a director, officer, or employee of the nonprofit corporation from personal liability for
damage, loss, or injury resulting from the performance of the person's duties or on any
commitment or agreement executed on behalf of the corporation.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This legislation does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles and we remain neutral.
