Relating to a requirement that public institutions of higher education provide applicants with certain information regarding eligibility for public health programs.

HB 181 requires Texas public colleges and universities to provide incoming freshmen and undergraduate transfer applicants with clear, easy-to-understand information about eligibility for public health programs like Medicaid and the child health plan. The bill mandates that institutions explain eligibility rules, address common student health needs, and include direct enrollment links to the Health and Human Services Commission's website. This information must be tailored for students who can independently complete application forms. The requirement begins for the 2025 fall semester, with the Health and Human Services Commission tasked with developing the necessary materials.
