House Bill 928 amends the Family Code to require a Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) employee who is a member of a community resource coordination group established under a memorandum of understanding for coordinated services to persons needing multiagency services to inform the group about certain tuition and fee waivers for institutions of higher education that are available to eligible children in foster care. The bill sets out the methods by which each school district, in coordination with DFPS, must facilitate the transition of each child enrolled in the district who is eligible for such a tuition and fee waiver and who is likely to be in DFPS conservatorship on the day preceding the child's 18th birthday to an institution of higher education.
