Bill > HB3852

This bill requires school districts with websites to prominently post information about immunization requirements for public elementary and secondary schools in both English and Spanish. Specifically, districts must provide a direct link to the Department of State Health Services website that explains immunization exemption procedures. The bill mandates that this link be presented in the same font style and size as the other immunization information. Additionally, if school districts provide any written notices about immunization requirements, they must now include specific details about exemptions and the direct link to the exemption information website. The new requirements will take effect in the 2025-2026 school year, with the bill becoming effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas Legislature, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the immediate effect vote. The goal appears to be increasing transparency and accessibility of information for parents and students regarding school immunization requirements and potential exemptions.
