S.B. No. 2314 establishes an electronic platform and submission portal called My Texas Future, aimed at enhancing public high school students' awareness and application processes for institutions of higher education. The bill amends the Education Code to include provisions for a direct admissions data sharing opt-in election for high school graduation, requiring students to decide whether to allow the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to share their educational records with colleges. Additionally, it mandates that each institution of higher education must provide a link to MyTexasFuture.Org on their admission application websites, ensuring students are informed about the electronic common admission application form.

The bill also introduces new requirements for school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to notify parents and guardians about the My Texas Future platform and the option for students to create or update their profiles. It emphasizes the confidentiality of student information shared with institutions and outlines the process for opting out of data sharing. The provisions of this act will take effect in phases, with some sections applying to the 2025-2026 academic year and others starting in the 2026-2027 academic year.
