HB 3661 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the regulation of certain political communications, a prohibition on electioneering by school district and open-enrollment charter school officials and employees, and actions and other proceedings by a public school challenging the operations of the public school system; authorizing an administrative penalty; creating a criminal offense.

HB 3661 prohibits school district and open-enrollment charter school officials and employees from engaging in electioneering (campaigning for political candidates) during work hours or using school resources. It creates a registry for individuals found to have violated this rule, barring them from serving on school boards or charter school governing bodies for up to three years. The bill also authorizes administrative penalties for violations and establishes a criminal offense for repeated or severe breaches. This law aims to separate partisan political activities from public school operations.
