                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to providing a parent with a copy of a special education

 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-6           SECTION 1.  Section 29.005, Education Code, is amended by
 1-7     adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
 1-8           (d)  If the child's parent is unable to read English, the
 1-9     district shall on request provide the parent with a copy of the
1-10     child's individualized education program translated into the
1-11     parent's native language.
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.
