Relating to parental consent for certain activities engaged in by a school district employee or contractor with respect to the parent's child.

HB 4003 requires Texas public school employees or contractors to obtain written parental consent before conducting certain mental health assessments (like psychological tests or screenings) or recording a student's voice or image. It specifically covers activities such as surveys about mental health, psychological treatments, or videotaping, but excludes routine academic lessons, general well-being checks, and safety-related recordings (e.g., on school buses or for classroom instruction). The bill mandates that schools retain these consent forms in students' education records. This directly affects Texas parents of K-12 students and school staff who perform these activities.
