Texas HB299 mandates a study on the long-term effects of regulating tuition rates at public higher education institutions.

Texas HB299 requires the Legislative Budget Board to conduct a comprehensive study on the long-term effects of regulating tuition rates at public institutions of higher education. The study will assess the costs, benefits, and impacts of potential legislative actions, including the repeal of institutions' authority to set tuition rates. It will evaluate the effects on student access, affordability, financial aid, and student loan debt. If the study projects a revenue loss from regulating tuition, it will identify funding sources to offset the decrease.
