Summary

Same paperwork, 30 days later. Skip it and lose the funded students for the year.

The bill makes any private school or other education provider that takes students paid for with vouchers, education savings accounts, tax credit scholarships, or other money that would have gone to the foundation school fund follow every reporting requirement that applies to public school districts. Those schools must file each report no later than 30 days after public schools must file the same one. A school that does not comply may not enroll or serve those funded students that school year, starting with the 2025-2026 school year.

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

SECTION 1. Chapter 1, Education Code, is amended by adding

Section 1.0026 to read as follows:

Sec. 1.0026. APPLICATION OF REPORTING REQUIREMENTS TO

CERTAIN PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND OTHER ENTITIES PROVIDING EDUCATION

the meaning assigned by Section 5.001.

(b) A private school or other entity providing education

services in this state that accepts a student with a voucher,

education savings account, tax credit scholarship, or any other

funding that would otherwise have been part of the foundation

school fund is subject to any reporting requirement that applies to

a school district, the board of trustees of a school district, or

public school students, including requirements imposed by a state

agency or entity other than the agency. A private school or other

entity subject to reporting requirements under this subsection

shall provide a report required in accordance with this section not

later than the 30th day after the date on which a public school must

provide the same report.

(c) A private school or other entity providing education

services in this state may not enroll or otherwise provide

education services to students described by Subsection (b) in any

school year in which the private school or other entity providing

education services does not comply with this section.

SECTION 2. This Act applies beginning with the 2025-2026

school year.

SECTION 3. 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.
