Proposing a constitutional amendment to eliminate an obsolete requirement for a State Medical Education Board and a State Medical Education Fund.
If passed, HJR79 would amend Section 50a, Article III of the Texas Constitution, effectively repealing the requirement for these two entities. The impact of this change is expected to be minimal in terms of immediate operational adjustments, as the State Medical Education Board and Fund are not currently active. However, the amendment signifies a move toward modernizing state law by eliminating irrelevant regulations that no longer serve a practical purpose.
HJR79 proposes a constitutional amendment aimed at eliminating outdated requirements for a State Medical Education Board and a State Medical Education Fund in Texas. As these entities are no longer operational, the bill seeks to streamline state law by removing these obsolete provisions from the Texas Constitution. The resolution's primary intent is to simplify the legal framework pertaining to medical education governance in Texas.
While no significant contention around HJR79 is noted in the discussions, the general context indicates potential concerns about the thoroughness of legislative oversight when repealing constitutional requirements. Although the bill addresses outdated provisions, stakeholders may debate the importance of having a legal framework in place, even for non-operative entities. Nonetheless, the prevailing view suggests that removing obsolete rules is a step in the right direction for legislative efficiency.
