BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 77th Legislature, Texas school districts were authorized to
charge tuition for the attendance of a student who was not domiciled in
Texas and resided in military housing that was exempt from taxation by the
district.  House Bill 2143 prohibits school districts from charging tuition
to these students. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 2143 amends the Education Code to prohibit a school district
from charging tuition for the attendance of a student who is domiciled in
another state and resides in military housing that is located in the
district but is exempt from taxation by the district.
