House Bill No. 1484, titled the Sexual Grooming Protection Act, aims to enhance the protection of students from sexual grooming in public schools. The bill introduces a new Subchapter H to Chapter 38 of the Education Code, which grants parents the right to transfer their child to another public or private school if they believe their child is being subjected to sexual grooming. In such cases, funding for the child's education will follow them to the new school. The bill defines sexual grooming as efforts to desensitize children to sexual experiences or normalize sexual relationships with adults or peers.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner adopt rules to implement the program, ensuring that maintenance and operations funding follows the child while prohibiting fraud and abuse. Importantly, the rules will not interfere with the programs or curricula of participating private schools, except for those rules that were in effect as of January 1, 2025. The bill specifies that no federal funds or Available School Funds will be used to support these programs. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
