HB 2168 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the Texas Commission on Federal Special Education Law and Funding.

HB 2168 establishes the Texas Commission on Federal Special Education Law and Funding to study and recommend improvements to Texas' special education system in compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The commission, composed of seven members appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house, will analyze statutory frameworks and practices for public schools providing special education services. It will make recommendations to the state legislature but has no authority to enact new policies or allocate funds directly. This procedural bill affects Texas public schools indirectly through future recommendations, not through immediate policy changes.
