The bill, S.B. No. 1767, mandates that public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas employ at least one full-time registered nurse at each campus. Additionally, it requires these institutions to maintain an average ratio of one full-time registered nurse for every 750 students enrolled. This new requirement is aimed at enhancing the health and safety of students within the educational environment.

The provisions of this bill will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year. It will become effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
