H.B. No. 4107 proposes the establishment of a new subchapter within Chapter 61 of the Education Code, specifically aimed at providing student loan repayment assistance to prosecuting attorneys employed by the border prosecution unit. The bill defines the "border prosecution unit" and outlines the eligibility criteria for attorneys seeking assistance, which includes being licensed in Texas and having completed a minimum of one year of consecutive employment with the unit. The assistance is capped at four years, with a maximum total repayment amount of $110,000 per attorney and a total allocation of $2 million per state fiscal biennium.

The bill also details the process for loan repayment assistance, including the types of eligible loans and the method of payment, which can be made directly to lenders or to the attorneys themselves. Additionally, the board is tasked with adopting necessary rules for administering the program, including provisions for reimbursement if an attorney does not fulfill the four-year employment requirement. The board is authorized to solicit and accept funds from various sources to support the program, which is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
