Bill > HB393

This bill proposes to repeal Section 51.3525 of the Texas Education Code, which appears to be related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at public higher education institutions. DEI programs are typically designed to promote equal opportunities and representation for historically marginalized groups in educational settings. By repealing this section of the law, the bill would effectively eliminate existing requirements or guidelines about such initiatives at Texas public colleges and universities. The bill includes a standard legislative provision allowing it to take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both legislative chambers, otherwise it will automatically become effective on September 1, 2025. The concise nature of the bill suggests a direct intent to remove existing DEI-related requirements without providing alternative language or frameworks.
