HB 3714 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to eliminating the requirement for character traits and personal skills instruction in public schools.

HB 3714 (Texas House Bill 3714) eliminates a requirement in Texas public schools for character traits and personal skills instruction by repealing Education Code Section 29.906. This change directly affects all Texas public schools, removing a mandated curriculum component. The bill takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, meaning schools will no longer need to provide this specific instruction. The legislation focuses solely on removing an existing mandate, with no new requirements added.
