Issue Position: Saluting Our Troops

Issue Position

Senate Bill 93 establishes the Hazelwood Legacy Act, which exempts certain military personnel and their dependents from paying tuition and fees at our state's colleges and universities. The bill revises the residency requirements so that specified military personnel or their children who entered the service in Texas can meet the residency requirements that ensure they receive the education benefit as honorably discharged Texas veterans. Also passed was House Bill 3613 which exempts disabled veterans from paying property taxes on their homesteads.
