Relating to the payment of a fee for the administration of a bilingual education certificate examination.

HB 2555 modifies Texas Education Code to eliminate fees for individuals taking bilingual education certification exams. The bill requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to waive the exam fee assessed by the agency and pay any vendor fees directly to the exam provider on behalf of test-takers. This applies to all examinations for bilingual education certification, including those under Section 21.04891. The changes take effect September 1, 2025, and directly affect educators seeking bilingual certification in Texas public schools.
