Bill Analysis
Currently, the Texas Forensic Science Commission is administratively attached to Sam Houston State University and the Board of Regents of the Texas State University System provides administrative support to the commission. SB 1124 would administratively attach the Texas Forensic Science Commission to the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System and remove it from Sam Houston State University.
