HB 4156 modifies the process for creating a new school district by detaching territory from an existing district. It transfers authority over the detachment process from county commissioners courts to the State Board of Education (SBOE), increases the percentage of registered voters required to petition for detachment from 10% to 20%, and shifts decision-making on property, debt allocation, and trustee appointments to the SBOE.
