Relating to authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds for certain capital projects at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso.

SB 1096 authorizes Texas Tech University System's board of regents to issue up to $162 million in revenue bonds specifically for constructing and equipping an oral health care center at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso. The bonds would be secured by pledging tuition revenue from Texas Tech institutions, with the pledge remaining in place until the bonds are fully repaid. This bill directly affects the El Paso health center campus and its ability to finance this specific capital project through a systemwide bond program. The legislation takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not alter existing restrictions on higher education facility operations.
