HB 2485 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to personal leave for wellness provided for school district employees.

HB 2485 requires Texas public school districts to provide school employees with at least two paid wellness days per year, in addition to existing leave benefits. These days cannot be saved for future use or deducted from accumulated personal leave, and districts may not require employees to submit documentation for using them. School districts must establish clear policies for requesting and approving these days, but the bill does not specify funding or administrative details. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, unless passed by a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
