            House Bill 3597 amends the Education Code and Government Code to revise the period after which a public school district that fails to timely report its safety and security audit results to the Texas School Safety Center is required to conduct a public hearing on that failure. The bill, among other provisions, replaces a requirement for a public school district to provide the center, on request, with specified information about any relevant memorandum of understanding or mutual aid agreement with a requirement to provide a copy of the memorandum or agreement. The bill entitles the center to obtain the criminal history record information of a person who is registering with the center as a provider of certain consulting services.
