The Texas House Committee on Higher Education considered a bill this week to tighten requirements and expand liabilities for students who are “not a citizen or permanent resident” in the U.S. and are seeking in-state tuition at a Texas university.
House Bill (HB) 232, authored by Rep. Cody Vasut (R-Angleton), narrows the eligibility for resident status, mandates more documentation, and enforces financial consequences for misclassified tuition statuses.
