S.B. No. 1581 amends Section 11.063 of the Education Code regarding the eligibility of trustees of certain independent school districts for employment with those districts. The bill stipulates that a trustee may not accept employment with the school district until one year after their term on the board ends, with an exception for trustees of districts entitled to an allotment under Section 48.101(b). This change aims to clarify and potentially ease employment restrictions for specific school districts.

The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the Texas Legislature; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025. The inclusion of the new language regarding the exception for certain school districts is a significant aspect of this legislation, as it modifies the existing employment restrictions for trustees.
