Senate Bill 1325 amends the Education Code to render a person ineligible to receive a scholarship from a college or university or a university system if the person is related to a current member of the institution's governing board unless the scholarship is granted by an organization or party not affiliated with the institution or university system, is awarded solely on the basis of prior academic merit, or is an athletic scholarship, or the relationship is sufficiently remote. The bill requires an applicant for a scholarship from a college or university or university system to file a statement with the application indicating any relationship within the specified levels of proximity by consanguinity or affinity to a current governing board member and makes it a Class B misdemeanor offense for a person to knowingly file a false statement in this regard.
