Relating to the authority of the board of regents of The Texas A&M University System to construct, acquire, improve, extend, and equip utility systems located on university system property.

HB 3701 expands the Texas A&M University System's board of regents authority to build, acquire, improve, and equip utility systems (including power plants, water, and sewer systems) across all its campuses. It specifically allows the board to charge institutions for these services and use the revenue to fund future infrastructure projects through bonds. The bill also explicitly permits utility construction on A&M property in Brazos County. This directly affects Texas A&M System campuses by streamlining their ability to manage and finance essential infrastructure maintenance and upgrades.
