            Senate Bill 1798 amends the Education Code to require an institution of higher education at which a person seeking an eligible educational aide exemption from tuition and fees is enrolled, rather than the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board as the law previously required, to determine and certify the person's ability to receive the exemption and to give notice of its determination to the applicant and to the school district employing the applicant as an educational aide. The bill makes its provisions applicable beginning with the 2009 fall semester.
