H.B. No. 1401 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to include the offense of "Improper relationship between educator and student" as a reportable conviction or adjudication for sex offender registration requirements. Specifically, the bill adds this offense to the list of reportable convictions in Article 62.001(5) of the Code, which already includes various sexual offenses such as continuous sexual abuse of a young child, sexual assault, and indecency with a child. This change aims to enhance the accountability and monitoring of individuals convicted of this specific offense, recognizing the serious implications of such relationships in educational settings.

The bill stipulates that the changes will only apply to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. Offenses committed prior to this date will continue to be governed by the existing laws. This provision ensures that individuals charged with offenses before the enactment of this bill are not retroactively subjected to the new registration requirements.
