Bill > HB4664

This bill requires public schools in Texas, including school districts, the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the Texas School for the Deaf, and open-enrollment charter schools, to provide reasonable accommodations for lactating students in middle and high schools. Specifically, these accommodations must enable students to express breast milk, breastfeed an infant child, and address other breast-feeding related needs. The bill will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, either immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas legislature or on September 1, 2025, if it does not. By mandating these accommodations, the bill aims to support young parents in their educational environment, recognizing the challenges they may face in balancing parenthood and schooling while ensuring their fundamental rights to breastfeed and care for their children.
