Yes	House		25/02/2025	HB 1	1	Bonnen, Greg	Finance	Finance HB 1 Notable Bill Author: Bonnen, Greg Description: General Appropriations Bill. Last Action: 02/25/2025 H Introduced and referred to committee on House Appropriations	01/22/25 Bill Filed 02/25/25 Introduced and referred to committee on House Appropriations			HB 1 Bill Summary As filed, the bill makes general appropriations for state government over the 2026-27 biennium. The bill spends $154.1 billion in general revenue, which comes in $4.8 billion under the tax spending limit. The bill fully funds current school finance law and includes $1.7 billion to pay for expected enrollment increases. Additionally, current law requires that the golden penny yields be increased in line with school district property value growth. As a result, the bill increases the golden penny yield from $129.52 up to $132.40 in fiscal year 2026 and $140.02 in fiscal year 2027. The bill allocates $4.85 billion over the biennium for unspecified school funding increases. The bill appropriates $51 billion to fully funds existing property tax relief measures put in place by HB 3 (2019) as well as SB 2/HJR2 (88th, 2nd Called Session). The bill proposes spending an additional $3 billion on unspecified property tax cuts. The bill appropriates an additional $200 million to the school safety allotment. This would more than double the current allotment, which is around $180 million. The bill allocates $1 billion to fund new voucher legislation that would come out of the 89th session.

Last Action: 03/12/2025 H Committee action pending House Public Education	02/20/25 Bill Filed 02/25/25 Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education 03/12/25 Meeting set for 8:00 A.M., JHR 140, House Public Education			HB 3 Bill Summary As filed, the bill created a universal education savings account program that caps appropriations to the greater of the prior biennium's appropriation, or that amount plus enough funds to eliminate the waiting list for the ESA program. In the event the program is oversubscribed, recipients would be chosen with a lottery system, prioritizing the following: Disabled students whose families earn less than 500% of the federal poverty guidelines; Students whose families earn less than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines; Students whose families earn between 200-500% of the federal poverty guidelines; Students whose families earn less than 500% of the federal poverty guidelines. The program would fund ESAs at 85% of the statewide average ADA, except for disabled students, who would be funded at that amount PLUS what that student would generate under their IEP at a public school, not to exceed $30,000. It also includes a provision that requires public schools to conduct evaluations and produce IEPs within 45 days for students who are not enrolled in the district. Homeschooled students would be eligible to recieve $2,000 per year. Eligible private schools would have to be accredited and administer an annual norm-referenced test, the results of which would be shared with the Educational Assistance Organization. Public schools could also receive an ESA for providing services which do not generate ADA. Approved education-related expenses include tuition and fees for private schools, higher education, online education courses or programs, and industry-based credentials; textbooks or other instructional materials; fees for classes or services provided by a public school; academic assessments; tutoring; transportation; educational therapy; technology (not to exceed 10% of annual distribution); and the cost of breakfast and lunch provided at a private school. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives 2/3 vote, otherwise it would take effect 9/1/25. GM	03/12/2025	Relating to the establishment of an education savings account program.

Last Action: 02/25/2025 H Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education	02/20/25 Bill Filed 02/25/25 Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education			HB 4 Bill Summary HB 4 proposed sweeping changes to the state's accountability and assessment policies but died in conference committee. As it was passed out of the House, HB 4 proposed broad reforms to the current state assessment program, including: Pushing back the testing window to as late as possible in the school year, and reduce maximum testing time for students;shifting from a TEA-developed, criterion-referenced summative assessment to a series of nationally norm-referenced assessments throughout the school year; replacing of STAAR with a new 3-8 assessment by the 2025-2026 school year; easing military readiness verification for high school students; and limiting circumstances when LEAs can bring lawsuits against the state. As it was passed out of the Senate, HB 4 was substantially similar to accountability and assessment legislation filed in the Senate, SB 1962. The Senate plan differed in the following ways: Later implementation of a program inclusive of assessments throughout the year to replace the current summative assessment; asssessments must be criterion based, not nationally norm-referenced; language limiting future litigation against the state was more strict. The House and Senate plans did have some concepts in common: Establishing a 5-year review of rigor by TEA and adding some layer of oversight to decisions on cut scores/domains(though the method of oversight differed); improving the transition when major changes to the system are made; minimum 2-year notice, 1-year of as “as if” score before the change takes effect for purposes of sanctions.

HB 6 removes time limits on in-school suspensions from a maximum duration of three days to no maximum. Requires that a school’s principal or appropriate administrator reviews the in-school suspension of a student in in-school suspension at least once every 10 school days, additionally students receiving special education services must continue during the in-school suspension. Add exceptions to the ban on out-of-school suspensions for students in grade three or lower, including "threatens the immediate health and safety of other students in the classroom" and "conduct that results in repeated or significant disruption to the classroom." HB 6 allows for the parent to request the student to be suspended in-school if the parent can prove that the student will not have adequate supervision at home. Allows for teachers to remove students who repeatedly interfere with the teacher’s ability to communicate effectively with the students in the class or with the ability of the student’s classmates to learn; demonstrates behavior that is unruly, disruptive, or abusive toward the teacher, another adult, or another student; or engages in conduct that constitutes bullying. The student is only allowed to return to the same classroom with the written permission of the teacher. Adds additional causes to automatically put a student in a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP), including "the offense of deadly conduct," "the offense of disorderly conduct involving a firearm," "the offense of unlawfully carrying weapons." It also allows for the superintendent or superintendent's designee to place a student in a DAEP program if they have "reasonable belief" that the student engaged in any of the above offenses. HB 6 removes the requirement for the student to be on school property or on a school-sponsored event or related activity in order to justify expelling a student. HB 6 allows districts to place students who are expelled into a virtual education program if the juvenile justice alternative education program (JJAEP) is unable to take the student or they do not have an establish agreement with a JJAEP. The virtual disciplinary alternative education program will allow students to attend remote courses and be counted towards the district's average daily attendance. The Senate amendments allow for a student to possibly be considered for in-person education services later should the district find it to be suitable. HB 6 requires one person at each campus to be the campus behavior coordinator who is responsible for monitoring disciplinary referrals, reporting to the campus’s threat assessment and safe and supportive school team any student who engages in the offense of terroristic threat, the offense of prohibited weapons, or the offense of exhibiting, using, or threatening to exhibit or use a firearm. The board of trustees of a school district may adopt a policy for parental involvement in school disciplinary placements. Including the ability for a disciplinary placement to be shortened if the parent and student agree and complete a behavior agreement. Extended immunity from disciplinary proceedings for actions relating to reporting a colleague’s violation of chapter 37 or action taken in good faith to remove a student from class. HB 6 also prohibits TEA from withholding funds from a district based on the number of students who ha ve been removed from a classroom, placed in in-school or out-of-school suspension, a DAEP, or a juvenile justice alternative education program, or expelled. The section cannot limit what the agency can do to take action under federal law. HB 6 requires that districts cannot refer a student who is younger than 18 to the Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHAT) program without parent permission if the program components include mental health education or screening. Additionally, HB 6 lessens the publishment for first offenses of possession of vape pens and no longer requires automatic DAEP placement unless the student is caught selling or in possession of many with the intent to distribute. Now a 10 day minimum out-of-school suspension is required for students above the age of 8.	06/02/2025	Relating to discipline in public schools.

The committee would be composed of seven gubernatorial appointees including an expert in metabolic health; a licensed functional medicine physician, an appointee from the Texas Department of Agriculture; and one member each from rural and urban communities. Limits are put in place on the number of members who can be from institutions of higher education, and the governor may not appoint a member who owns or controls 3% or more interest in a food, beverage or pharmaceutical company, or who is related within a 3rd degree of consanguinity of such a person. The topics to be studied of the committee are outlined as: the impact of nutrition on human health; links between processed foods and chronic health; developing dietary and nutritional guidelines; and preparing an annual report. The Department of State Health Services would be newly required to post committee-developed nutritional guidelines online annually. HB 25 adds new food labeling requirements. Manufacturers would be required to include a warning label on products containing artificial color, food additives, or "other chemical ingredient banned by Canada, the European Union, or the United Kingdom." Specific required language is included in the proposed law. Certain physicians would be required to complete continuing medical education regarding nutrition and metabolic health in order to renew their license. HB 25 would make state funding for health-related institutions of higher education contingent on the institution having nutrition curriculum requirements developed by the new Texas Nutrition Advisory Committee, and having a requirement that all medical students or students in other health-related majors to complete this curriculum in order to graduate.

In addition to creating a new grant program to help districts implement additional day school year programs, HB 123 implements (1) expanded literacy and math achievement academies, (2) directs the agency to select new assessment tools for k – 2, (3) requires early reading intervention for students in k-2, (4) creates a “grant” program for parents to pay for TEA approved tutoring, and (5) creates parent support programs aimed at increasing kindergarten readiness. Literacy and Numeracy Achievement Academies - Expanding on previously established academies, HB 123 requires the TEA to create a reading and math intervention curriculum for teachers who provide accelerated learning for students who need it. All teachers that teach math in kindergarten through eighth grade and each principal, assistant principal, mathematics instructional coach, and mathematics interventionist must attend math achievement academies by school year 2030-2031. HB 123 requires TEA to create a method for evaluating the academies and allows the commission to establish an advisory committee to implement the academies and the method of evaluating their effectiveness. HB 123 also allows for teachers to receive a stipend for attending the academies unless they attend during the school day, are enrolled in an educator preparation program, or wasn’t approved to attend the academy. New Assessment Tools and Requirements HB 123 requires the commissioner to select one assessment for districts to use to assess foundational literacy skills. Districts may request to use alternative assessments. Districts must give the foundational literacy skills assessment within the first 60 days of school and report the assessment results to parents within 30 days of receiving the results. The district's superintendent must report the assessment results to the commissioner and to the board of trustees. An ARD committee can make adjustments for the students in order for the students to be evaluated. The Commissioner must create a list of literacy or numeracy assessments for districts to assess the progress of kindergarten through 3rd-grade students’ foundational skills and diagnosis of dyslexia. The commissioner must also allow for districts to submit different assessments to qualify for allowed assessments and must post the requirements for assessments to be approved and included on the commissioner’s list. Districts must give kindergarten through 3rd-grade students assessments each year and report the results of those assessments to the commissioner and school board the results of these assessments. Districts may give these assessments as a pre-, mid-, and post-year assessment. For students in the third year the district may use the State assessment. Early Intervention for Literacy - Should a student be deemed at-risk for two years in a row in the reading assessment, the student must receive targeted intervention for the next 12 months until the student is no longer at risk (as determined by the commissioner) or goes into the fourth grade. Parents may opt students out via written request of both the assessments or the intervention. Targeting tutoring must be given by a person with training in reading interventions, under the oversight of the school district, and to the extent possible, be provided by one person for the entirety of the student's reading intervention period. A student may not be removed from classes that they would otherwise receive if they weren’t in accelerated instruction. School districts are not required to comply with this section until the commissioner finalizes the list of assessments and designates the first school year in which the assessments apply. Third Grade Supplementary Support Grant - The agency shall create a list of approved tutoring and accelerated support for third grade students who are in accelerated instruction. The agency will create an online system for parents to access the grant amount. . Early Childhood Parent Support - The TEA should create a list of optional programs that help to assist a parent in supporting the parent's child in attaining kindergarten readiness. The program must have demonstrated through random control trials that the program improves kindergarten readiness and increases attendance. New Allotments Created - HB 123 also creates multiple funding methods for the programs listed. The Early Intervention Allotment is created for students in need of intervention, districts receive an annual allotment of $250 per student. A district may not receive the allotment if the district is already receiving the dyslexia allotment and a district may not receive the allotment for more than 10% of the students enrolled in the district. The Early Childhood Parent Support For every student that is eligible for Pre-K in the district and participates in the program is eligible to receive 20% of the BA or approximately $1,232 (based on current law BA). The district’s entitlement is reduced by $123 .2 for the next five years. Third Grade Supplementary Support Grant is established for every eligible student by giving the eligible student a grant of $750 to be used on tutoring approved by TEA. Additionally beginning in the 2030-2031 school year, a school district’s funding amount is reduced by $750 for each student (or $325 for each special education student) who both received and used the grant and was enrolled in the district from kindergarten to third grade. HB 123 provides additional state aid to ensure certain recapture districts receive funding increases in line with what is generated by ADSY, the CCMR Outcomes Bonus, and the TIA.

Last Action: 02/28/2025 H Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education	11/12/24 Bill Filed 02/28/25 Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education			HB 462 Bill Summary As filed, HB 462 makes several changes to school safety policy. It adds law enforcement "canine units" to the list of acceptable security officers that can be assigned to a campus under Section 37.0814(b), Education Code. It increases the per-campus school safety allotment from $15,000 to $100,000 annually and adds new eligibility requirements: 1. compliance with at least 1 armed safety officer (TEC 37 .0814(b) ) and 2. ISDs and charters must also have at least 1 armed school marshal for every 200 students enrolled. The requirement for an armed school marshal can also be met through use of a drone that is equipped to deploy "less than lethal interdiction capability by means of air-based irritant delivery or other mechanisms". It removes mental health services, counselors, restorative justice, chaplain services, and suicide prevention services from allowable expenses under the School Safety Allotment. Instead, those expenses would be allowable under a new "Mental Health Allotment" of $100,000 per district/charter. Districts receiving the small and mid-sized adjustment and districts/charters with more than 50% economically disadvantaged student enrollment are also entitled to a per pupil allotment, but that amount is not specified in the bill as filed. Mental Health Allotment funds must be spent on a comprehensive mental health system including salaries, training, chaplain services, community partnerships. Funds cannot be used to supplant any other funds that may be provided for the same purpose. Districts/charters are required to submit outcomes and expenditure information to the TEA, which is required to publish annual reports, and this process will be determined by TEA rule.

Last Action: 03/12/2025 H Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education	12/20/24 Bill Filed 03/12/25 Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education			HB 1697 Bill Summary As filed, HB 1697 would make tighten restrictions for open-enrollment charter schools relating to its relationship to a management company and would abolish state law allowing a charter school employee to serve as a charter school board member under certain circumstances. The bill seeks to strengthen state law relating to relationships between an open-enrollment charter school, its officers and employees, and any external management company. TEA is directed to enact rules addressing transactions involving "related party of a management company." Related parties include current and former board members of a charter management company and persons relating to anyone affiliated with the company within a third degree of consanguinity. The bill also expands existing state law prohibiting someone with certain state criminal convictions from serving as a board member or officer of a charter school; specifically, it expands this prohibition for individuals who have been convicted of certain federal crimes. New definitions of "substantial interest" in a charter school management company are outlined. HB 1697 requires that all members of a charter school board (rather than only a majority, which is current law) be a "qualified voter" in Texas. The bill reinforces Open Records Act requirements for management contracts and prohibits a board member or officer of a charter school from accepting direct payment from a management company. Lastly, the bill would require that charter schools be subject to the same "Disclosure of Interested Parties" law that is required of local governments and ISDs in the Texas Government Code.	03/12/2025	Relating to the management, operation, and contract authority of open-enrollment charter schools.

A plan to operate as a community schools must include, in addition to the other requirements of a turnaround plan, strategies, and programs to coordinate academic, social, and health services and reduce barriers to learning through partnerships and service coordination. Programs and services may include early childhood education, after-school and summer school academic and enrichment programs, college and career preparation, service learning opportunities, such as internships and community service programs, leadership and mentoring programs, activities to encourage community and parent engagement in students' education, health and social services for students and their families, and parenting classes. A campus that elects to operate as a community school under a turnaround plan must establish a school community partnership team composed of the members required for a campus-level planning and decision-making committee and additional community representatives to coordinate with the campus intervention team. The campus must also establish a partnership with a lead organization that has experience in developing and implementing a community school plan and designate either a school district employee or an employee of an organization with experience in developing and implement a community school plan to serve as the community school coordinator for the campus whose duties would include the recruitment and coordination of services from community partners. The campus would need to develop a community school plan that satisfies the requirements for a campus improvement plan and then obtain approval for this plan from at least 75% of the campus faculty and staff, 75% percent of parents of students enrolled at the campus, and the board of trustees of the school district. The commissioner may not order the closure of a campus without giving the campus the opportunity to operate as a community school and at least two years to implement the campus's community school plan.

Last Action: 03/19/2025 H Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education	02/14/25 Bill Filed 03/19/25 Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education			HB 2846 Bill Summary As filed, HB 2846 HB 2846 requires LEAs , within 30 days, to either resolve a grievance procedure or to provide the parent who submitted the complaint a written explanation of the reason for not resolving the issue. LEAs must adopt a policy for this notification procedure. An LEA's failure to resolve a grievance within 30 days would be grounds for a parent to bring civil action against an LEA "to obtain appropriate injunctive and declaratory relief." LEA immunity from liability is waived for this purpose. HB 2846 creates a new board policy requirement that notifies parents of any change relating to the student's mental, emotional or physical health or well-being. The policy must "reinforce the fundamental right of a parent to make decisions regarding the upbringing and education of the parent's child". All questionnaires and health screening forms must be compliant with this section. Before the first school day, LEAS are required to provide written notice to parents "of each health-related service offered". The notice must include a statement of the parent's right to withhold consent for or decline a health-related service. A form relating to student support must first be provided to parents, and parental consent is required before administering the form. HB 2846 directs the TEA, the SBOE, and SBEC to review and revise any related guidelines to ensure they are compliant with these changes. Under this proposal, an LEA employee or subcontractor (including a guest speaker) "may not withhold from a student's parent information related to the student's perception of the student's biological sex if that perception is inconsistent with the student's biological sex as determined by the student's sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous hormone profiles. Under HB 1846, parental consent would be required before a student can participate in a club that "promotes themes of sexuality, gender or gender identity." An LEA would prohibited from using a third party to provide instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identify. The bill clarifies that its provisions apply equally to open-enrollment charter schools.

The term "administrator" is specifically defined to exclude those engaged primarily in classroom instruction and school trustees, thereby focusing the restrictions on higher-level administrative roles. While the bill establishes broad limitations, it also allows for certain exceptions. Under these exceptions, administrators (excluding superintendents & assistant superintendents) may receive financial benefits if they secure a written contract with the consent of their district’s board of trustees. The board must then confirm that the contract poses no conflict of interest, will not harm the district, and services are performed outside official duties. Additionally, violations of these provisions attract a civil penalty of $10,000, underscoring the seriousness of the regulations. Additionally, the bill enforces accountability through a civil penalty mechanism, where any administrator found in violation of these prohibitions would be liable for a $10,000 penalty per violation. Takes effect September 1, 2025. GM	06/02/2025	Relating to prohibiting certain personal services performed by school district administrators.
