H.B. No. 1311 amends the Education Code to impose limitations on the rules, bylaws, and policies that a school district's board of trustees can adopt. Specifically, the bill stipulates that while trustees may adopt necessary rules and bylaws to fulfill their duties, they are prohibited from adopting or enforcing any rule, bylaw, or policy that restricts a trustee's ability to express their opinion on matters voted on by the board or any other school district issues.

This legislation aims to protect the rights of trustees to freely share their opinions, thereby promoting transparency and open communication within school district governance. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
