BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Since 1971, the operating statute of Texas Women's University has used the
terms chairman and vice chairman for the board of regents.  Senate Bill 72
changes those terms to presiding officer and assistant presiding officer of
the board of regents, rather than chairman and vice chairman. 


RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

Senate Bill 72 amends the Education Code to change the title of the
chairman of the Texas Woman's University board of regents to presiding
officer and to change the title of the vice chairman of the board of
regents to assistant presiding officer. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

On passage.
