Relating to tuition and fee exemptions at public institutions of higher education for certain peace officers.

HB 3008 creates a tuition and laboratory fee exemption for peace officers employed by the state or a local government who are enrolled in criminal justice or law enforcement degree programs at Texas public colleges and universities. To qualify, students must be making satisfactory academic progress and apply for the exemption at least one week before the term's registration deadline. The exemption applies to tuition and lab fees and takes effect for the 2025 fall semester. The bill repeals a prior section of the law governing this exemption.
