HB 1141 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the suspension of certain public school students and to the repeal of the positive behavior program for public schools.

HB 1141 prohibits Texas public schools from suspending homeless students for specific conduct - such as weapons possession, violent offenses, or drug-related activity - unless the incident occurs on school property or during school-sponsored events. The bill also repeals the requirement for schools to implement a "positive behavior program" under Section 37.0013 of the Education Code. These changes directly affect homeless students in Texas public schools and school districts that previously operated under the mandated behavior program. The law aims to reduce suspensions for homeless students while eliminating a specific program requirement for schools.
