HB 181 amends the Texas Education Code to require public institutions of higher education to provide incoming students with information about eligibility for public health benefits. Specifically, each institution must distribute materials that detail eligibility for programs such as Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to freshman and transfer applicants. The information, provided in collaboration with the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), must explain eligibility requirements, address common healthcare needs, and include enrollment procedures and website links. This requirement would begin with the 2025 fall semester.
