SB 382 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a prohibition on the use of artificial intelligence technology for classroom instruction.

SB 382 prohibits Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools from using artificial intelligence technology to provide classroom instruction or replace/supplement teachers' instructional roles. The bill directly affects schools by banning AI tools from delivering lessons or taking over teacher duties during instruction. It takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation. The law specifically targets AI's use in teaching, not other school applications like administrative tools.
