Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 4, Part 9.

Under present law, a high school student is eligible for a dual enrollment grant if the student meets certain criteria. A student may receive a dual enrollment grant for one or more courses per semester at eligible postsecondary institutions, which includes independent postsecondary institutions and public postsecondary institutions. Present law prohibits an eligible postsecondary institution from charging certain students receiving a dual enrollment grant tuition or fees in excess of the student's dual enrollment grant award. However, an eligible postsecondary institution may charge a student receiving a dual enrollment grant costs actually incurred by the institution on the student's behalf, including book and material costs, digital book and material costs, special examination fees, industry certification fees, and board examination fees. This bill changes the prohibition above to only apply to eligible public postsecondary institutions, not independent postsecondary institutions.
