Bill > HB3656

This bill modifies the composition of the Texas School Safety Center's board of directors by adding an administrator of a public junior college as a new appointed member (labeled as subsection (J)) and renumbering the previous remaining three public members to a new subsection (K). Currently, the board includes representatives from various state agencies like the attorney general's office, education commissioner, juvenile justice department, and health services, as well as appointed members such as a juvenile court judge, school board trustee, school administrators, a parent-teacher association member, a teacher, a school superintendent, a school police officer, and an architect. The bill requires the governor to appoint this new junior college administrator member by February 1, 2026, with the appointee serving a two-year staggered term alongside other appointed board members. Members can serve multiple terms, and the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, expanding the board's representation to include a perspective from the public junior college education sector.
