Legislators just returned from the 81st Texas Legislative session, and Senator Robert Duncan brought back good news for Texas Tech and Lubbock. Legislators were able to pass bills to protect water rights, increase funding for physician recruitment in rural areas and secure more funding for public schools and teachers. House bill 51 was also passed, which will help Texas Tech get long-term funding needed to achieve Tier-One status. Senator Duncan says the bill will not only help Texas Tech, but Lubbock as well.
