Bill > HB2456

This bill modifies the Texas Education Code to establish clear guidelines for flag display in public schools, requiring that on all regular school days, every school and educational institution must fly both the United States and Texas flags. Additionally, schools are now permitted to fly flags of the United States Armed Forces and their own official institutional flag, but are explicitly prohibited from flying or displaying any other flags. The bill will take effect with the 2025-2026 school year, and becomes immediately effective if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in the Texas Legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025. The legislation aims to standardize flag protocols in Texas public schools, ensuring a consistent display of national and state flags while limiting the diversity of flags that can be exhibited on school grounds.
