Relating to the inclusion of information about construction or maintenance work zones in the curriculum of driver education and driving safety courses.
SB 1366 requires all Texas driver education and driving safety courses to include specific information about construction and maintenance work zones starting September 1, 2026. The curriculum must cover the dangers of violating traffic rules in these zones and the penalties for such violations under Texas law. This affects all licensed driver education providers and courses offered in Texas. The Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation must adopt the required rules by May 1, 2026, to implement the changes. The bill became effective September 1, 2025, but the new curriculum requirement applies to courses held on or after September 1, 2026.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version signed by the Governor. The substantive policy content regarding driver education requirements for construction zone safety remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting, spacing, and the addition of official certification signatures and dates at the end.
TECHNICAL
The bill was converted from an 'Engrossed' draft to an 'Enrolled' final version, adding official signatures, dates, and certification language from legislative officers and the Governor.
The bill text was reformatted with different spacing, line breaks, and alignment, but the actual legal requirements and policy content remain identical.
