Bill > HB928

This bill requires public institutions of higher education in Texas to provide each student with a detailed tuition and fee bill or billing statement for each semester or term, which must include two key components: (1) a total amount of all tuition and fees charged for that semester or term, and (2) an itemized list that breaks down the tuition and individual fees for each course the student is enrolled in, as well as any additional fees charged by the institution. The bill mandates that these billing statements provide clear and comprehensive financial information to students, helping them understand the exact costs associated with their education. The new requirements will take effect beginning with the 2025 fall semester, and the bill will become law either immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas Legislature, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the immediate approval threshold. This legislation aims to increase transparency in higher education billing by ensuring students have a complete understanding of their academic expenses.
