Relating to parental rights in public education and prohibiting instruction regarding sexual orientation or gender identity for public school students.

SB 86 would require Texas public school districts to establish procedures for parents to file complaints about curriculum and receive written responses within 30 days. It prohibits schools from providing instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity to students and mandates that districts notify parents about changes to student health services or support. The bill also allows parents to sue school districts that fail to resolve complaints, with courts authorized to award damages and attorney fees. These provisions directly affect public school students, parents, and school districts across Texas, focusing on parental notification rights and curriculum restrictions. The bill is currently pending in the Education committee after its initial referral.
