Relating to tuition and fee exemptions at public institutions of higher education for certain child-care workers.
HB 1934 creates a tuition and fee exemption at Texas public colleges for child-care workers enrolled in specific programs. It directly affects licensed child-care workers employed at facilities under Texas Human Resources Code Chapter 42 who are pursuing an associate degree or certificate in child development or early childhood education. To qualify, students must meet academic progress requirements, apply before the registration deadline, and the exemption cannot exceed 20% of any class's enrollment. The exemption covers tuition and required fees but not security deposits, and applies starting the 2025 fall semester. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board must establish rules for eligibility and a uniform list of covered programs.
