No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
SB 1788 would allow for funds appropriated for student education at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to be used to pay for costs associated with the educational programs for the campus's university-level students attending the Laredo Regional Campus and receiving clinical training in Webb County and the surrounding communities, including ground or air transportation, lodging, and related expenses.
Despite authorization to use appropriated funds for certain travel costs in each session's General Appropriations Act, UTHSCSA requires clear statutory authorization to use appropriated funds for this purpose.
Texas Action remains neutral on SB 1788 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
