House Bill 1332 amends the Education Code to include technological equipment and electronic textbooks in the materials that each student, or the student's parent or guardian, is responsible for returning at the end of the school year or on the student's withdrawal from school. The bill makes the failure to return an electronic textbook or technological equipment in an acceptable condition subject to the same consequences that apply to the failure to return all textbooks in an acceptable condition, including forfeiture of the student's right to free textbooks, including electronic textbooks and technological equipment until each item is paid for by the student, parent, or guardian and the possible withholding of student records. The bill makes its provisions applicable beginning with the 2009-2010 school year.
