HB 2639 Risk Management Education Program
Effective September 1, 2007, the 80th Texas Legislature enacted HB 2639/SB 1138 (Texas Education Code Section 51.9361) regarding risk management education for members and advisors of student organizations registered at postsecondary educational institutions. Under the law, it is mandatory for representatives of registered student organizations and individuals selected by the university to complete a risk management educational program.
In accordance with the legislation, the Office of the Dean of Students implemented new policies pertaining to select registered student organizations that took effect at the beginning of the Fall 2008 semester. These new rules have been created to facilitate compliance with the statute and to help ensure a positive, safe environment for our students and our student organizations.
