Relating to the procedure for the adoption by the board of regents of The University of Texas System of a rate and damage schedule for the management of university land.

HB 5523 clarifies that the University of Texas System's board of regents is treated as a state agency for land management purposes. It requires the board to adopt land management fees and damage assessments using standard state rulemaking procedures under Texas Government Code Chapters 2001 and 2002. This bill directly affects the UT System's process for setting fees related to university land use, such as leases or damages. The change takes effect September 1, 2025, but does not alter the actual fee amounts or land management policies.
