IN RE:
HB2030 by Giddings (Relating to the issuance of citations to certain students on school property during regular school hours.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would prohibit a peace officer from requiring a student under age 12 to sign a citation issued on school property during regular school hours. If the student's parent or guardian were unable to be present when a citation was issued to the student, a school administrator or teacher would be required sign the citation to acknowledge that it had been issued, and a school official would be required to notify the student's parent or legal guardian within two days that the citation had been issued.
Local Government Impact
School districts would be required to update policies and procedures in accordance with the provisions of the bill.
