HB 1361 is a Texas legislative bill designed to support pregnant and parenting students in higher education. The bill requires colleges and universities to develop policies and provide resources that facilitate access to education for these students. This includes accommodations such as flexible scheduling and academic support. According to HB 1361, the College must designate at least one employee to act as a liaison officer for current or incoming students who are the parent or guardian of a child younger than 18 years of age.
SB 412 is a Texas legislative bill focused on enhancing support for pregnant and parenting students in higher education. The bill mandates that colleges and universities create policies and provide resources to ensure these students have access to necessary accommodations. SB 412 requires that the College post the pregnancy and parenting discrimination policy on its website. The policy must include the contact information for the employee or office that is designated for a student requesting each protection or accommodation.
By fostering a supportive environment, HB 1361 and SB 412, aim to ensure that pregnant and parenting students can successfully navigate their educational journeys and enable them to succeed in academic pursuits while managing their parenting responsibilities.
