House Bill 592 amends the Education Code to exempt a county with a population greater than 125,000 from provisions requiring a juvenile board of a county with a population greater than 125,000 to develop a juvenile justice alternative education program and requiring every expelled student in such a county who is not detained or receiving treatment under a juvenile court order to be enrolled in such a program if the county has a population of 180,000 or less, is adjacent to two counties that each have a population of more than 1.7 million, and has seven or more school districts located wholly within the county's boundaries. The exemption applies beginning with the 2011-2012 school year.
