Summary

Every district gives it to students and parents each year.

The bill requires the state health department to set procedures and content for Type 1 diabetes information that every school district must give to students and parents each school year. It touches the Department of State Health Services, every public school district, and the families of district students. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, parents should receive yearly material on symptoms, risk factors, screening and treatment of Type 1 diabetes, and a district may use another delivery method only if the department approves it in writing.

A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the dissemination of Type 1 diabetes information by

public schools.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 38, Education Code, is

amended by adding Section 38.0026 to read as follows:

Sec. 38.0026. DISSEMINATION OF TYPE 1 DIABETES INFORMATION.

(a) The Department of State Health Services shall prescribe

procedures by which each school district shall provide information

relating to Type 1 diabetes to district students and the parents of

district students each school year. The procedures must ensure

that the information is reasonably likely to come to the attention

of the parents of each student. The department shall prescribe the

form and content of the information. The information must cover:

(1) the symptoms of the disease, how the disease may be

diagnosed, and the possible consequences if left untreated;

(2) a description of the risk factors and warning

signs associated with the disease;

(3) a description of the screening process and early

detection methods for the disease and the stages of the disease; and

(4) the availability and effectiveness of treatment

for the disease, and a brief description of the risks and possible

side effects of treatment.

(b) A school district, with the written consent of the

Department of State Health Services, may provide the information

required by this section to district students and the parents of

district students by a method different from the method prescribed

by the department under Subsection (a) if the department determines

that method would be effective in bringing the information to the

attention of the parents of each student.

SECTION 2. As soon as practicable after the effective date

of this Act, the Department of State Health Services shall

prescribe the procedures required by Section 38.0026, Education

Code, as added by this Act.

SECTION 3. This Act applies beginning with the 2025-2026

school year.

SECTION 4. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives

a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as

provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this

Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this

Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
