Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 82(R)

House Bill 3577

House Author:  Gonzales, Larry

Effective:  6-17-11

Senate Sponsor:  Zaffirini


Previous law prohibited a person from receiving a Texas Educational Opportunity Grant if the person was eligible for a TEXAS grant. House Bill 3577 amends the Education Code to prohibit a person from receiving a Texas Educational Opportunity Grant and a TEXAS grant for the same semester or other term, regardless of whether the person is otherwise eligible for both grants during that semester or term. The bill entitles a person who would be awarded both grants, if not for this prohibition, to receive only the grant of the greater amount.
