Relating to information on classes or programs required to be completed before an inmate is released on parole.

HB 2942 requires Texas correctional authorities to publish specific details about education and training programs inmates must complete before parole release. The bill mandates that the parole board and department post on their websites: program curricula, instructor qualifications, completion rates, disability/language accommodations, assessment methods, evaluation results, and for private vendors, contract details and vendor history. This directly affects inmates preparing for parole by increasing transparency about program requirements. The law aims to make parole eligibility information publicly accessible without changing parole standards or procedures. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
