The bill, H.B. No. 4909, establishes the "My Texas Future" portal, which is designed to facilitate the submission of academic information for public school students as a condition for high school graduation. It amends Section 28.025 of the Education Code to include a requirement that students must either create an account in the My Texas Future portal or opt out with parental consent. The new Section 28.0257 outlines the specifics of this requirement, including the process for opting out and the responsibilities of school districts to inform parents about the portal and its implications for graduation.

Additionally, the bill mandates that institutions of higher education provide a link to the My Texas Future portal on their admissions web pages, ensuring that prospective students can easily access information about admission and financial aid. The portal will allow students to create profiles to receive tailored information about their eligibility for admission and financial aid awards. The provisions of this bill will take effect starting with the 2026-2027 school year, with the possibility of immediate implementation if it receives the necessary legislative approval.
