A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the provision of certain information to public school 
employees whose employment is terminated.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Subchapter A, Chapter 22, Education Code, is 
amended by adding Section 22.007 to read as follows:
	Sec. 22.007.  STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND 
REMEDIES REQUIRED. On termination of the employment of any school 
district employee, the district shall provide to the employee a 
written statement of any administrative procedures and remedies the 
employee must exhaust before the employee may bring suit against 
the district for the termination.
	SECTION 2.  Section 22.007, Education Code, as added by this 
Act, applies only to a termination that occurs on or after September 
1, 2005.  A termination that occurs before September 1, 2005, is 
governed by the law in effect when the termination occurred, and the 
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
