Relating to the application of nepotism prohibitions to a person appointed or employed by a school district as a teacher or other employee.

HB 3780 modifies Texas nepotism laws to create exceptions for school districts hiring teachers or other employees. It allows school districts in counties with populations under 50,000 (or 35,000 if the district spans multiple counties) or with board approval to hire relatives of current employees without violating nepotism rules. The bill applies only to new appointments or employment after its effective date (September 1, 2025), not to existing staff. This change directly affects school districts in rural or small-population areas seeking to hire family members of current employees. The policy removes a barrier to such hires under specific, limited circumstances.
