 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to a parent's access to any school district videotape in

 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Chapter 26, Education Code, is amended by adding
 1-6     Section 26.0041 to read as follows:
 1-7           Sec. 26.0041.  ACCESS TO VIDEOTAPE OF STUDENT.  A parent is
 1-8     entitled to access to any videotape made or authorized by a school
 1-9     district and recorded on equipment owned or leased by the district,
1-10     including a security camera videotape, in which the parent's child
1-11     appears.
1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-17     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-18     passage, and it is so enacted.
