______________________ EDUCATION/Higher 77 th Texas Legislature Bonds for Capital Projects at Public Institutions of Higher Education - H.B. 658 by Representative Junell, et al. Senate Sponsor: Senator Ellis Under current law, the governing board of an institution of higher education (institution) is authorized to issue bonds or notes to acquire, purchase, construct, improve, renovate, enlarge, or equip property, buildings, structures, facilities, roads, and other infrastructure related to the institution. Certain systems and institutions may need more funds to finance these types of projects. H.B. 658 authorizes the board of regents for certain universities and university systems to issue additional bonds to fund infrastructure projects at the specified institutions. The bond proceeds are to be used for the acquisition, purchase, construction, renovation, or equipping of buildings, facilities, and infrastructure. These bonds are payable from pledged revenue, including student tuition, and are not general obligations of the state. However, the issuance of these bonds would have fiscal implications for the state. Although tuition income is pledged against the bonds, historically the legislature has appropriated General Revenue funds to reimburse institutions of higher education for tuition used to pay the debt service. It is assumed that the legislature would continue this policy. Amends the Education Code to authorize the board of regents of The Texas A&M University System, The University of Texas System, the University of Houston System, the Texas State University System, the University of North Texas System, Texas Woman's University, Midwestern State University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the Texas Tech University System, Texas Southern University, and the Texas State Technical College System to issue bonds for specified institutions and entities to finance the acquisition, purchase, construction, improvement, renovation, enlargement, or equipping of certain infrastructure with these bonds in accordance with stipulated guidelines in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount specified for each project. Authorizes each board to pledge irrevocably to pay the bonds with all or any part of the revenue funds of any entity of their respective university systems. Prohibits the reduction or abrogation of the amount of a pledge made under these provisions while the bonds or bonds issued to refund those bonds are outstanding. Authorizes a board to transfer funds among entities of its university system to ensure equitable and efficient resource allocation, if the board does not have sufficient funds available to meet its obligations under these provisions and the bond was issued for an entity of the system. Authorizes the use of any proceeds of bonds that are for one or more specified projects at an institution that is not required for the specified project for the renovation of existing structures and facilities at the institution. Prohibits the issuance of bonds for certain facilities at Prairie View A&M University and Texas Southern University before March 1, 2003. Senate Research Center 82
