HB 100 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the purchase, adoption, and use of instructional materials by public schools.

HB 100 prohibits Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools from using state funds to purchase or adopt instructional materials that contain obscene or harmful content or appear on the State Board of Education's rejected materials list. The bill requires the State Board to issue a 45-day notice before adding materials to the rejected list, allowing time for revisions. It also bans the use of any instructional materials - whether traditional or open education resources - listed as rejected, while permitting local funds for non-rejected materials. This law applies starting the 2025-2026 school year and became effective immediately after the governor signed it on June 20, 2025.

MINOR
The bill was finalized from its Engrossed version to the Enrolled version, which includes substantive changes to the effective date and the addition of new certification language. The most significant policy change is the shift in the application year from the 2025-2026 school year to the 2026-2027 school year, delaying implementation by one year. Additionally, a new Section 7 was added to clarify that the law applies to instructional materials placed on the rejected list on or after the school year in which the Act applies, rather than retroactively.
Scope change
The bill's effective date was changed from the 2025-2026 school year to the 2026-2027 school year, delaying the implementation of restrictions on purchasing rejected instructional materials by one academic year.
