H.B. No. 1334 proposes an amendment to the Education Code of Texas, specifically adding Section 21.04892, which addresses the fees associated with special education and bilingual education certificate examinations. The new section mandates that for individuals taking these certification examinations, the board is required to waive any fees it assesses for the administration of the examination. Additionally, the board must pay any fees charged by the vendor administering the examination on behalf of the examinee.

This legislation aims to alleviate the financial burden on individuals seeking certification in special education or bilingual education by eliminating examination fees. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, providing a timeline for implementation of these changes.
