House Bill 1171 amends the Education Code to expand the immunity from liability of an open-enrollment charter school and its employees and volunteers in matters related to operation of the school to include immunity from certain suits and to extend immunity from both certain liabilities and certain suits to a charter holder and its employees and volunteers. The bill makes an open-enrollment charter school liable in tort claims in the same manner under the law as a school district.
