HB 4874 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the policies and procedures of a public school's threat assessment and safe and supportive school team and threat assessment review team.

HB 4874 requires Texas public school districts to establish both a threat assessment and safe and supportive school team, and a separate threat assessment review team at every campus. The bill mandates these teams have at least three members, complete required training from the Texas School Safety Center, and follow specific policies - including allowing staff to report potential threats confidentially while requiring districts to maintain records of such confidential reporters. It also requires teams to obtain two-thirds agreement before conducting a threat assessment and creates a process where a review team must confirm serious risk determinations before action is taken. The law directly affects all Texas public school campuses and their safety protocols.
