Committee reviews bill to give military-program students early class registration
Loading...
Summary
House Bill 102 would let university students in military-related programs register early, matching existing preregistration for expectant mothers and student-athletes; the committee left the bill pending after no public testimony.
House Bill 102, which would grant early registration privileges to university students participating in military-related programs, was presented to the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs on Oct. 12, 2025, and left pending.
Senator Mark Hancock, the Senate sponsor, told the committee that students enrolled in military programs often must coordinate academic schedules with military commitments and that early registration would help them maintain timely progress toward degree completion. "House Bill 102 would grant early registration privileges to those participating in the military related programs who are eligible and in good standing with the university," Hancock said.
The bill would add military-program students to groups already eligible for preregistration, Hancock said, noting that the legislature previously allowed preregistration for expectant mothers and student-athletes. Committee Chair Senator Parker opened public testimony for HB 102; no witnesses came forward. The chair then closed public testimony and the committee left the bill pending.
No committee questions resulted in changes to the bill during the hearing, and no formal vote or amendment was recorded. The committee did not set a date for further action on HB 102.
