Senate Bill 1313 amends the Education Code to establish the Correctional Management Institute of Texas for the training of criminal justice professionals, under the supervision and direction of the president at Sam Houston State University, with headquarters at that university. The bill requires the president of the university to establish reasonable charges for participation in institute training programs by participants who are not Texas residents and requires the participation costs of participants who are Texas residents, including tuition, books, room, board, and travel costs, to be paid from the Correctional Management Institute of Texas and Criminal Justice Center Account in the general revenue fund. The bill authorizes the institute to provide fee-based training and professional development programming using funds other than appropriated funds.
