Bill > HB3266

This bill amends the Texas Education Code to prohibit school districts from charging fees for late drop-offs or pickups of students at their campus. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision to an existing section of the Education Code that lists various fees school boards are already forbidden from charging, such as fees for instructional materials, field trips, required dress, and library materials. The new provision explicitly prevents schools from imposing charges on parents for bringing students to school late or picking them up late. The bill will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, and it becomes immediately effective if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Texas Legislature; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025. The purpose of the bill appears to be to ensure that parents are not financially penalized for occasional tardiness in dropping off or picking up their children from school.
