Bill Caption
Relating to the appointment by certain elected officials of students to receive a Texas Armed Services Scholarship.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal impact to the state is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Under current law, there is no procedure for appointing new students to the Texas Armed Services Scholarship if someone currently receiving the scholarship is no longer eligible for it. This bill would establish such a system, allowing the elected official to appoint another student who is eligible.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill is procedural in nature and neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
