Relating to the provision of private security services at a public primary or secondary school; requiring an occupational license.
HB 1064 requires private security personnel working at Texas public primary and secondary schools to hold a state-issued license. The bill creates a new "school security officer" license category under the Occupations Code, mandating completion of specific Texas Department of Public Safety-approved training courses (Level II or III). It applies directly to security contractors and employees hired for school security roles, requiring them to be licensed before providing services. School districts may use alternative safety measures under a "good cause" exception, but must still comply with state safety standards.
