PUBLIC EDUCATION BILLS FILED IN THE TEXAS HOUSE - 2023 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

 

January 22, I posted Texas House Bills to Watch in 2023: TRS, PreK-12, and All Things Public Education . As of that date, 1,646 bills had been filed in the House. March 10 was the final day to file bills for this 88th Legislative Session. At the end of that day, 5,310 House Bills had been filed. (This number does not include the House Resolutions, House Concurrent Resolutions, and House Joint Resolutions.) Click here for the complete list.

I started this new list where I left off January 22—with bill #1647. Once again, I have categorized them based on topic. (Remember there is some overlap; for example, there are School Library bills under Parental Rights and School Safety and School Funding bills under Special Education. I added some new categories to this list.)

Please note the current status of each bill can be seen next to “Last Action.” To follow specific bills as they move through the legislative process and to receive alerts, click here, set up an account, and list the bill numbers you want to follow.
