SB 674 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to instruction on hunter education for public high school students.

SB 674 requires Texas public high schools to offer optional hunter education instruction as part of graduation courses, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill mandates the State Board of Education to develop curriculum guidelines in collaboration with the Parks and Wildlife Department, ensuring the content meets requirements for a state hunter education certificate under Parks and Wildlife Code §62.014(c). School districts may choose to incorporate this instruction into one or more courses for high school graduation. The bill does not require schools to offer the program, only provides a framework for districts that choose to implement it.
