The bill, H.B. No. 3192, amends the Education Code to establish specific provisions for the admission of children of foreign military members into public schools in Texas. It introduces a new subsection, (c-3), which allows a child whose parent or guardian is an active-duty member of a foreign military force stationed in Texas to determine their eligibility for school admission based on the condition that they will turn the required age within the school year for which they are seeking admission. This provision overrides the existing age requirements outlined in Subsections (a) and (b).

The bill is set to take effect for the 2025-2026 school year and will become effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will take effect on September 1, 2025.
