Senate Bill 1191 amends the Education Code to increase the amount of the annual constitutional appropriation to certain public institutions of higher education, specifies that the increase begins with the 2016 state fiscal year, and sets out the specific amounts to be allocated to eligible institutions by the equitable allocation formula. The bill includes in the allocation of funds from the annual constitutional appropriation an amount attributable to the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law in the allocation to the University of North Texas at Dallas and omits The University of Texas–Pan American and The University of Texas at Brownsville from the allocation of such funds to reflect their consolidation into a general academic teaching institution excluded from participation in the funding.
