H.B. No. 100 amends the Education Code to regulate the purchase, adoption, and use of instructional materials by public schools in Texas. The bill specifies that funds allotted for instructional materials cannot be used to purchase materials that contain obscene or harmful content, or that are on the list of rejected instructional materials maintained by the State Board of Education. Additionally, it establishes a new requirement for the State Board to issue a proclamation 45 days prior to adding any instructional material to the list of rejected materials, allowing for a revision period.

The bill further stipulates that school districts and open-enrollment charter schools may only adopt or use instructional materials that are not included on the rejected list. It allows the use of local funds for purchasing instructional materials, provided they are not on the rejected list. The changes will take effect starting with the 2026-2027 school year, and the law will apply to materials placed on the rejected list from that school year onward.
