August 2023
AUSTIN - This summer, Governor Greg Abbott signed legislation that expands the confidentiality offered by public institution of higher education compliance programs. Senate Bill 336 revised section 51.971 of the Texas Education Code to allow compliance programs to maintain the anonymity of agents and contractors who act on behalf of their institutions if they report suspected wrongdoing. Previously, this protection only covered officers and employees of the institution. According to the bill analysis, the purpose of the revised law is to encourage more reporting of compliance issues.
