Enrolled Bill Summary

            House Bill 3295 amends the Education Code to allow the Texas Workforce Commission to transfer to the proprietary school tuition protection fund any fee revenue it has collected in its regulation of proprietary schools that exceeds its administrative costs. The fund's balance may not exceed $250,000. The act also excludes schools that offer intensive review of a student's acquired education, training, or experience to prepare the student for a degree program admissions examination or a required postdegree program examination from the definition of "proprietary school" and exempts them from regulation as such. The act similarly excludes and exempts certain courses of instruction in the use of technological hardware or software offered to the buyer of the hardware or software by the manufacturer or developer selling the product if providing such courses is not the seller's primary business.
