Bill > HB3795

This bill establishes new reporting requirements for private schools and other educational entities that receive certain types of public funding, such as vouchers, education savings accounts, or tax credit scholarships. Specifically, these schools will now be required to comply with the same reporting obligations as public schools, including any reports mandated by state agencies. The bill defines a "private school" according to existing state education code and stipulates that these institutions must submit required reports within 30 days of the deadline for public schools. Importantly, if a private school or educational entity fails to meet these reporting requirements, they will be prohibited from enrolling students or providing educational services during that school year. The bill is set to take effect for the 2025-2026 school year and will become law immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas legislature, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the necessary immediate voting support. This legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability for private educational institutions receiving state-funded educational support.
