Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to an exception for certain school districts to the requirement that an armed security officer be present at a public school campus.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Education Code to create an exception to the existing requirement that public school campuses have an armed security officer present. Specifically, the bill exempts school districts located on federal military installations from the mandatory armed security officer provision. The bill will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, with an immediate implementation contingent on receiving a two-thirds vote from members of the Texas legislature. If the bill does not receive the necessary immediate vote, it will automatically take effect on September 1, 2025. The exemption appears to recognize the unique security arrangements and protocols that may already exist on military bases, allowing those school districts to potentially have different security approaches than standard public schools in the state.
