HB 1512 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to reporting the number of children known or reasonably believed to not be citizens of the United States enrolled in a public school and to requesting reimbursement from the United States government for the cost of educating those children.

HB 1512 requires Texas public school districts to report the number of enrolled children they know or reasonably believe are not U.S. citizens through the state's education reporting system (PEIMS), without including personally identifiable information. The Texas Education Commissioner must then annually request federal reimbursement from the U.S. government for educating these students. The bill applies starting the 2025-2026 school year and focuses on administrative reporting and reimbursement procedures. It does not change school admission policies or student eligibility.
