Relating to public higher education.

HB 2110 modifies Texas law to expand access to dual credit courses in public higher education. It defines "educationally disadvantaged" students (those who faced barriers in high school) as eligible for no-cost enrollment in dual credit courses, requiring school districts to verify eligibility and notify colleges. The bill also establishes a "Financial Aid for Swift Transfer (FAST) Program," exempting eligible students from tuition and fees for dual credit courses at participating institutions. This directly affects high school students in dual credit programs across Texas public schools and colleges. The changes aim to reduce financial barriers for qualifying students while streamlining verification processes between school districts and higher education institutions.
