H.B. No. 3266 is a bill that prohibits school districts in Texas from charging fees for late drop-offs or pickups of students at district campuses. The bill amends Section 11.158(b) of the Education Code, adding a new provision that specifically states that school boards cannot impose fees for late drop-offs or pickups, alongside other existing prohibitions on fees for instructional materials, field trips, and required educational programs.
The new law will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year. It will be enacted immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Education Code 11.158 (Education Code 11)
