Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 767 amends the Education Code to waive tuition and fees at a public college or university for a student who was in foster care or other residential care under the conservatorship of the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services if the student was in such care on or after the student's 14th birthday and was also eligible for adoption on that day or if the student was in such care the day the student graduated from high school or received a high school equivalency diploma.

This exemption applies beginning with the 1997 fall semester.
