Relating to the applicability of sex offender registration requirements to the offense of improper relationship between educator and student.

HB 1401 amends Texas law to require sex offender registration for individuals convicted of the offense of "improper relationship between educator and student" (Penal Code Section 21.12). This change adds Section 21.12 to the list of offenses that trigger mandatory registration under the sex offender registration statute. The bill directly affects educators convicted of this specific offense, requiring them to register as sex offenders. The key mechanism is amending the definition of "reportable conviction" in the Code of Criminal Procedure to include this offense, making it subject to the same registration requirements as other serious sexual offenses.
