House Higher Education Committee
On Wednesday, the House Higher Education Committee considered legislation related to establishing additional Tier One research universities. Business and civic leaders from Dallas testified in support of the plan. The committee also heard testimony on legislation to amend the top 10 percent law.
The committee heard one bill of particular interest to DCCCD, HB 962; it deals with the purchase of library goods and services by public junior colleges. DCCCD has been watching this legislation very closely because it confuses an already-convoluted law. We have been working behind the scenes to improve the bill.
