Proposing a constitutional amendment protecting private schools from state and local regulation.
HJR 52 proposes a constitutional amendment that would prevent Texas state and local governments from regulating the educational programs of private schools and home schools. If approved by voters in November 2025, this amendment would add a new section to the Texas Constitution stating that state agencies, the legislature, and local governments cannot impose regulations on private school curricula or operations. The bill directly affects all private schools and home schools operating within Texas by removing current regulatory oversight. The amendment would require voter approval before taking effect, as specified in Section 2 of the resolution.
