The bill amends the Education Code to update the allocation of campuses within the Texas State Technical College System. Notable changes include the addition of Wilson County and Starr County as locations for campuses, while removing Guadalupe County from the list of collective units. The bill also specifies that campuses may operate as collective units in Comal County and Ellis County, and it introduces a provision for campuses assigned to the system by specific legislative acts.

Additionally, the bill modifies the approval process for vocational and technical programs offered by campuses or extension centers within the tax district of public junior colleges. It clarifies that approval for such programs is not required in several counties, including Wilson and Starr Counties, while also removing Potter County from the list. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses of the legislature or on September 1, 2025, if that vote is not achieved.
