Bill > HB37

This bill aims to discourage illegal migration into Texas, encourage compliance with federal immigration laws, and address the current border crisis. It prohibits the use of public money, including tax and bond revenue, to pay or subsidize the tuition of students who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. School districts are required to charge these students tuition equivalent to the average cost of providing educational services and to document their immigration status. Additionally, the bill prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions from providing public benefits, such as medical assistance, child health plans, and other social services, to individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
