The bill, H.B. No. 1022, amends Section 96.01 of the Education Code to clarify the status of Sul Ross State University and its educational offerings. Specifically, it removes the term "upper-level" from the description of the educational center known as Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College, which operates in the cities of Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde. This change reflects a broader scope of course levels that may be offered at the institution.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and will apply starting January 1, 2028. This timeline allows for a transition period for the university to adjust to the new legal language regarding its course offerings.

Introduced: Education Code 96.01 (Education Code 96)
