Relating to truancy.
SB 1925 amends Texas law to clarify and update procedures for addressing student truancy. It specifically defines the enforcement powers of two types of officers: peace officers serving as attendance officers (who are commissioned) and school district attendance officers (who are not). The bill requires these officers to first apply truancy prevention measures before escalating cases. If prevention fails, they may refer students with excessive unexcused absences to truancy court or file complaints against parents who violate attendance laws. The changes directly affect students, parents, school districts, and law enforcement officers handling truancy cases.
