Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to prohibiting the regulation of home school programs.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to prevent the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the State Board of Education, and other educational institutions from creating rules or policies that regulate home school educational programs. Specifically, the bill adds Section 1.010 to Chapter 1 of the Education Code, which explicitly prohibits these agencies from adopting any regulations that would oversee or control how home schools operate. The bill is set to take effect for the 2025-2026 school year and will become law either immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not meet the immediate effect threshold. By preventing regulatory oversight, the bill aims to protect the autonomy of home school programs and limit government intervention in home-based education.
