Summary

Education agencies and public institutions could not adopt rules that increase homeschool regulation.

The bill bars the Texas Education Agency, the State Board of Education, and Texas public educational institutions from making any rule that increases regulation of homeschool programs. It touches homeschooling families and the state education bodies that write rules. On the ground, current rules stay in place, but those bodies cannot add new rules that tighten oversight of homeschools, starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
