Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1874 amends the Education Code to delete a provision that previously restricted land acquisitions by The University of Texas System board of regents on behalf of The University of Texas-Pan American to land contiguous or adjacent to the university's main campus in Edinburg. The act also requires the International Trade and Technology Center at the university to develop and implement a small business videoconferencing pilot program to help small businesses establish international trade relationships by allowing them access to videoconferencing facilities to explore trade possibilities with a foreign country before traveling to the country.
