This change reflects a broader approach to the educational offerings at the Rio Grande College, which operates in the cities of Del Rio, Eagle Pass, and Uvalde.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, with its provisions applying starting January 1, 2026. The legislative process for H.B.
