Relating to the creation of the My Texas Future portal and a requirement to submit academic information through that portal to determine acceptance for admission at a public institution of higher education as a condition of high school graduation for public school students.

HB 4909 creates "My Texas Future," an online portal requiring public high school students in Texas to voluntarily share academic records with public colleges and universities to apply for admission. Students must opt-in before graduation (with specific opt-out options for parents, 18+ students, or counselor authorization), but it is not mandatory to share data. The bill mandates school districts to provide a multilingual form for this opt-in process and links it to high school graduation eligibility for public school students. This policy change directly affects Texas public high school students by making college application participation a condition for earning a diploma.
