House Bill 2631 amends the Education Code to redesignate the advanced research program established to encourage and provide support for basic research conducted by faculty members and students in certain disciplines at eligible institutions of higher education as the Norman Hackerman advanced research program. The bill removes a provision relating to the authorized level of funding to be appropriated to the program and repeals a provision requiring the comptroller of public accounts to issue warrants from funds appropriated for the program to each eligible institution in the amount certified by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to the comptroller.
