Legislation
 Following are several bills of particular interest to DCCCD:
This week, SB 1052 — which would provide financial incentives for students who complete core curriculum requirements at community colleges to transfer to four-year institutions — was passed by the Senate. The bill now moves to the House for consideration. [Read the bill]
SB 114, one of several textbook-related bills, currently is mired in the Senate. Although we have worked to improve the bill, it still could pose challenges for DCCCD. We will continue to monitor this bill to see when it may be considered by the Senate. [Read the bill]
HB 116, which would limit the number of classes students could drop, is languishing in the House and has yet to be considered by the full House. No companion bill exists in the Senate and, fortunately, it does not appear it will reach the Governor’s desk. [Read the bill]
SB 1064, the community college purchasing bill which was passed by the Senate last week, was sent to the House this week. It should be heard by the House Higher Education Committee a week from Monday.
Next week, HB 1249, which is related to the eligibility of TEXAS grants for transfer students, will be heard by the House Higher Education Committee. [Read the bill]
We continue to track and analyze proposed bills that may affect the Dallas County Community College District. You can see the updated tracking list and bill status on the DCCCD website.
