Relating to the membership of a public school's threat assessment and safe supportive school team when conducting threat assessments of certain students.

HB 1316 requires public school threat assessment teams to include a member of a student's admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee when assessing threats involving students in special education programs. This member must have specific knowledge of the student's disability and their special education services. The bill applies to threat assessments conducted under Texas Education Code Section 37.115 for students under Chapter 29 special education programs, effective for the 2025-2026 school year. It directly affects school safety teams and students receiving special education services during threat evaluations.
