Bill > HB148

This bill prohibits the Texas Education Agency from using artificial intelligence (AI) to score constructed response questions on state assessment instruments and assessment systems. A constructed response is a type of test question that requires students to create an original answer, rather than selecting from multiple choice options. The bill specifically amends the Education Code by adding a new subsection that explicitly bans AI scoring for these types of test questions. The prohibition will take effect for the 2026-2027 school year, and the bill itself will become law 91 days after the end of the legislative session. The likely intent of this legislation is to ensure that student responses are evaluated by human educators who can better understand nuanced, complex, or creative answers that an AI system might not accurately assess.
