More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to authorization and reimbursement for certain examination fee and other required cost subsidies paid for public school teachers and students’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
The bill revises the Education Code to authorize and provide reimbursement subsidies for examination fees and other costs required for certifications. These subsidies are available to both public school teachers and students, with students eligible to receive more than one subsidy. Teachers are entitled to a subsidy if they pass a certification examination related to career and technology education. School districts can obtain reimbursement by paying the examination fee and related costs, then submitting a written application to the commissioner. This new provision applies beginning with the 2025-26 school year and will take effect immediately if it secures a two-thirds majority vote in each legislative house; otherwise, the effective date is Sept. 1, 2025.
Salman Bhojani, member of the House Committee on S/C on Workforce and vice chair of the House Committee on Delivery of Government Efficiency, proposed another 10 bills during the 89(R) legislative session.
Bhojani graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2003 with a BS and again in 2013 from Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University with a JD.
Salman Bhojani is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 92nd House district. He replaced previous state representative Jeff Cason in 2023.
