1-23 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-24 SECTION 1. Section 21.3011(j), Education Code, is amended to
1-25 read as follows:
1-26 (j) If a court orders a student who has been expelled to
1-27 attend school as a condition of probation, the school district
1-28 shall readmit the student, but the student is not immune from
1-29 suspension, removal to an alternative education program, or
1-30 expulsion during the term of the probation. If a student is
1-31 expelled under this section, the school district retains the
1-32 authority to place the student in the appropriate educational
1-33 setting.
1-34 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-35 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-36 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-37 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-38 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-39 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-40 passage, and it is so enacted.
