S.B. No. 769 mandates the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to prepare and submit a report by December 1, 2027, focusing on enrollment and success in higher education for students with disabilities. The bill defines "student with a disability" in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The report will include data on the number and percentage of students with disabilities enrolling in higher education, barriers they face, institutional policies that support their success, available services and accommodations, and recommendations for legislative or other actions.

Additionally, the bill requires institutions of higher education to provide necessary information to the board upon request to facilitate the report's preparation. This section of the law will expire on September 1, 2028. The act will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
