AUTHOR'S/SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
Current law allows the board of regents of the Texas A&M University System to change the name of the system or of any component institution, agency, or service under its control. In order to prevent Prairie View A&M's name from being changed, S.B. 1118 provides Prairie View A&M University the same exemption that applies to Tarleton State Unversity under the Education Code.
