AI Summary
This bill requires all public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas to issue student identification cards to high school students starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The identification cards must include three specific pieces of information: the student's full name, a photograph of the student, and the month and year of the student's birth. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from members of the Texas legislature, otherwise it will become effective on September 1, 2025. By mandating these identification cards, the bill aims to provide a standardized form of student identification that can be used for various school-related purposes such as security, attendance tracking, and student verification.
