Texas SB199 requires public institutions of higher education to waive tuition and fees for credits not transferred toward a degree.

Texas SB199 amends the Education Code to mandate that public institutions of higher education waive tuition and fees for credits not transferred toward a degree program. This waiver applies to credits earned in the core curriculum or a field of study curriculum of the sending institution, or awarded for achieving required scores on Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate examinations. The provisions take effect starting with the 2025-2026 academic year. The bill also allows for immediate effect if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses.
