Senate Bill 884 amends the Education Code to revise provisions establishing a campus extension of The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in the city of Laredo to establish instead a University of Texas System multi-institution center in that city. The bill provides for the funding of the center's operating costs and activities and establishes that the center's primary purpose is to host educational activities, conduct and facilitate research, and engage in community outreach. The bill authorizes the system's component institutions to use the center to provide undergraduate and graduate medical and dental education and other levels of health education work in collaboration with any appropriate public institution of higher education.
