Relating to the provision of information regarding certain public assistance programs by public schools.

HB 599 requires Texas public schools to provide students and their parents with information about eligibility for three specific public assistance programs during enrollment, transfer, or withdrawal. The bill mandates schools to share details on medical assistance (Chapter 32, Human Resources Code), the child health plan program (Chapter 62, Health and Safety Code), and food assistance (supplemental nutrition program under Chapter 33, Human Resources Code). Schools must deliver this information in physical or electronic formats, with the state preparing a model form for districts. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
