SECTION 2. Subchapter F, Chapter 87, Education Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 87.506 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 87.506. LEASE OF CERTAIN PROPERTY TO THE UNIVERSITY OF | ||

the city of Laredo that was transferred to The Texas A&M University | ||
System from The University of Texas System by an act of the 87th | ||
Legislature, Regular Session, 2021. | ||
(b) Subject to the provisions of this section, the board of | ||
regents of The Texas A&M University System may use the property for | ||
any purposes related to Texas A&M International University or may | ||
lease any portion of the property that is not needed for those | ||
purposes. | ||
(c) On request of The University of Texas System, the board | ||
of regents of The Texas A&M University System shall lease at least a | ||

extension for one or more academic years or notifies The Texas A&M | ||
University System that it no longer elects to lease the property for | ||
that purpose. | ||
