Texas HB2185 provides tuition exemptions for children of law enforcement officers with 15 years of service.

HB2185 amends the Education Code to exempt children of eligible law enforcement officers from paying tuition, fees, and charges at public institutions of higher education. An eligible officer is defined as a peace officer with at least 15 years of continuous service in a public retirement system. The exemption applies to children, including stepchildren and adopted children, of these officers. The exemption does not cover general deposits or fees for lodging, board, or clothing. Children must apply for the exemption before turning 21 or 22, depending on special education eligibility.
