Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1621 amends the Education Code to allow a junior college to waive all or part of the tuition and fees for a high school student enrolled in a course for joint high school and junior college credit. The bill also allows each junior college district governing board that issues revenue bonds to pledge up to 25 percent of the tuition charges collected from each enrolled student toward the payment of such bonds, and it exempts out-of-district tuition charges from the requirement for each community or junior college's governing board to set aside a portion of tuition charges for academic or vocational-technical courses to fund the Texas Public Education Grant Program.
