Relating to the release of certain video surveillance of special education settings.

HB 4160 amends Texas Education Code to restrict the disclosure of video surveillance recordings in special education settings. It prohibits schools from being compelled to release such recordings through court orders (under Government Code Section 2001.089) unless explicitly authorized by this law. The bill directly affects special education students, schools, and any entities seeking to obtain these recordings for legal proceedings. The key provision adds a new requirement that disclosure of these videos must comply with the specific authorization rules established by the bill, effective September 1, 2025.
