H.B. No. 3295 proposes the repeal of Section 51.3525 of the Education Code, which pertains to requirements for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at public institutions of higher education in Texas. By eliminating this section, the bill aims to remove the mandates that currently govern these initiatives, thereby allowing institutions greater flexibility in their policies and practices related to diversity and inclusion.

The bill stipulates that it will take effect immediately if it secures a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature. If the necessary vote is not achieved, the bill will come into effect on September 1, 2025.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Education Code 51.3525 (Education Code 51)
