Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to student loan repayment assistance for certain prosecuting attorneys who are employed as part of the border prosecution unit.
AI Summary
This bill creates a new student loan repayment assistance program specifically for prosecuting attorneys working in the border prosecution unit. The program allows eligible attorneys who have worked for one to four consecutive years in the border prosecution unit to receive student loan repayment assistance, with 25% of their total student loan balance being eligible for repayment each year. To qualify, attorneys must be licensed in Texas and apply to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The program has several key limitations: attorneys can receive assistance for a maximum of four years, the total loan repayment cannot exceed $110,000 per attorney, and the total program funding is capped at $2 million per state fiscal biennium. The board will administer the program, solicit funds from public and private sources, and can only provide assistance for loans that are not in default. The program aims to support attorneys working in border prosecution by helping them manage their educational debt, with the bill taking effect on September 1, 2025.
