HB 2595 prohibits public school districts and public institutions of higher education from entering into contracts, academic partnerships, or intellectual property agreements with foreign adversaries, specifically including China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. The bill also bans foreign adversary-produced educational materials unless they are reviewed and approved by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) or the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). Additionally, it imposes a $50,000 civil penalty for violations and allows the Texas Attorney General to pursue legal action. Knowingly violating the law would be classified as a first-degree felony. The bill aims to restrict foreign influence in Texas’ public education system​.
