House Bill 3348 amends the Education Code to require the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to establish a pilot project to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of authorizing dental hygiene bachelor's degree programs at certain public junior colleges, including Tyler Junior College. The bill, among other provisions, requires the coordinating board, in its recommendations to the legislature relating to state funding for public junior colleges, to recommend that junior-level and senior-level courses offered in a dental hygiene bachelor's degree program by a public junior college receive the same state support as other courses offered by the college.
