Senate Bill 1490 amends the Education Code to restrict the authority of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to authorize a private postsecondary educational institution to grant a professional degree, or to represent that earned credits are applicable toward a professional degree, by imposing certain conditions based on market need, the institution's academic standards and resources, and the availability of field‑based experience placements to students seeking the degree at the institution. The bill limits the issuance of such authorization for an exempt institution or person to an institution operating under a state authorization reciprocity agreement.
