HB 2004 proposes to amend the Texas Education Code to remove liability protections for school district professional employees who engage in certain criminal conduct against students. Specifically, the bill excludes from liability protection those employees who commit offenses such as murder, sexual assault, aggravated assault, or offenses requiring sex offender registration. This amendment ensures that school district employees can be held personally liable for such criminal actions. The bill applies to conduct occurring on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
