Summary

Teaching hospitals partnered with a medical school outside Texas lose grants in 2027.

The bill bars the state higher education coordinating board from giving graduate medical education money to a teaching hospital program run in partnership with a medical school outside Texas. It touches teaching hospitals that train medical residents with out-of-state medical school partners, and the board that awards the money. Starting September 1, 2027, those out-of-state partnership programs can no longer get these state grants or distributions.
