Relating to the provision of certain public benefits and services to persons not lawfully present in the United States.

SB 1205 amends Texas education law to require school districts to charge tuition to students not lawfully present in the United States, rather than using public funds for their education. The bill specifically prohibits school districts from using tax or bond revenue to cover these students' educational costs (Section 25.009), instead mandating tuition equal to the district's average cost for that grade level. Districts must also document students' immigration status and report it to the state agency. This policy directly affects undocumented students and school districts receiving state funding under Chapters 46 or 48 of the Education Code.
