H.B. No. 100 amends the Education Code to establish stricter regulations regarding 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, the bill introduces a requirement for the State Board to issue a proclamation and provide a 45-day notice before adding any instructional material to the list of rejected materials, allowing for potential revisions.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits school districts and open-enrollment charter schools from adopting or using any instructional materials that are included on the rejected list. It also allows these institutions to use local funds to purchase instructional materials, provided they are not on the rejected list. The changes outlined in this bill will take effect starting with the 2026-2027 school year, and they apply to materials placed on the rejected list from that school year onward.
