TX HB1105 exempts certain paramedics from paying tuition and laboratory fees at public colleges and universities in Texas. This means that eligible paramedics can pursue higher education without the financial burden of these costs. The bill aims to support those who serve in emergency medical services by making education more accessible.
TX HB1481 allows school districts and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas to create their own rules regarding how students can use personal communication devices, like smartphones and tablets, during school hours. This means schools can decide if students can use these devices in class or if they need to be turned off or put away. The goal is to give schools more flexibility in managing technology use among students.
