Relating to establishing the Texas State Seal of Bilingualism and Biliteracy for public high school students.

SB 1414 establishes the Texas State Seal of Bilingualism and Biliteracy to recognize public high school graduates who demonstrate proficiency in both English and another language. The bill requires school districts to affix the seal to diplomas and note it on transcripts for students meeting established standards, which must be rigorous but cannot require a new exam specifically created for this program. It applies to all Texas public high school students graduating from the 2025-2026 school year onward. The seal aims to provide formal recognition of biliteracy skills to employers and colleges without adding new testing requirements.
