Relating to the reporting and investigation of misconduct by public and private school employees; creating a criminal offense; providing a civil penalty.

HB 5393 requires courts to notify the State Board for Educator Certification and Texas Education Agency within five days when a school employee (including certified teachers or staff) is convicted of certain offenses, such as sex crimes or felonies against minors. It also mandates that the State Board notify the Texas Education Agency within 24 hours if it revokes a teaching certificate due to specific misconduct, like abuse or criminal acts against students. The bill creates new procedures under Texas Education Code Chapter 22A for reporting and investigating misconduct by public and private school employees. These changes directly affect school employees, school districts, charter schools, and state education agencies by standardizing notification timelines for serious misconduct.
