Relating to conditions on the continued receipt of tuition and fee benefits at public institutions of higher education for senior citizens.

SB 61 preserves existing tuition benefits for senior citizens at Texas public colleges by clarifying that certain current exemptions remain unaffected. The bill amends the Education Code to explicitly state that Section 54.2001(g) does not apply to specific programs, including dual credit courses for high school students, certain tax exemptions under Sections 54.341 and 54.342, and the tuition benefit under Section 54.365(c). It directly affects seniors enrolled in these existing programs who currently receive reduced tuition rates. The bill maintains current policy without creating new benefits or restrictions, ensuring these exemptions continue under existing law.
