Currently, a state agency is authorized to spend public funds to pay for certain necessary expenses relating to training and education programs for state agency administrators and employees. House Bill 3337 amends the Government Code to restrict a state agency, for a state agency administrator or employee who seeks reimbursement for a training or education program offered by certain public or private or independent institutions of higher education, to paying only tuition expenses for a program course successfully completed by the administrator or employee at an accredited institution of higher education. Among other provisions, the bill requires the executive head of a state agency to authorize a tuition reimbursement payment before an administrator or employee of the agency may be reimbursed, sets out requirements for the tuition reimbursement policy a state agency must adopt before the agency spends any money on training for a state employee, and requires the agency to post the policy on its website.
