Digest
SB 1414 establishes the Texas State Seal of Bilingualism and Biliteracy to recognize high school graduates proficient in English and at least one other language. The Texas Education Agency, in consultation with stakeholders, will set rigorous standards for earning the seal. These may include projects or portfolios but not exams designed solely for this purpose. School districts will maintain records, affix the seal to diplomas, and note the achievement on transcripts. The program applies starting with the 2025–2026 school year.
