The bill, H.B. No. 2397, proposes amendments to the Education Code to establish direct oversight of the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University by the university's board. A new section, 106.315, is added to outline the responsibilities of the board in managing the law school. This section defines "administrator" as per Section 51.948 and mandates that the board will oversee the general management of the law school.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that all administrators at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law must report directly to the board on matters within its authority, rather than reporting to the university president. This change aims to enhance accountability and streamline communication between the law school and the board. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
