HB 936 amends the Education Code to prohibit public institutions of higher education from revoking or withdrawing athletic scholarships due to injuries, illnesses, or disabilities that prevent a student-athlete from participating in intercollegiate sports. Exceptions are provided for cases where the disability or injury results from the student-athlete’s violation of the institution's code of conduct. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is tasked with implementing the rules. This law applies to scholarships beginning with the 2025-2026 academic year and takes effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with immediate effect​.
