SB 58 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to policies and procedures regarding certain public school students with disabilities.

SB 58 amends Texas Education Code sections 29.002 and 29.011 to update policies for students with disabilities in public schools. It requires school districts to include specific transition planning elements in students' personalized education plans, such as postsecondary education options, vocational evaluations, employment goals, and independent living preparation. The bill specifically addresses how student involvement, parental participation (for those under 18), and authorized representatives (for those 18+) must be coordinated in transition planning. This directly affects students with disabilities in special education programs who are approaching graduation or transition to adulthood. The changes align Texas procedures with federal requirements for transition services.
