House Bill No. 3885 amends Section 25.0344 of the Education Code to facilitate the transfer of public school students who are children of certain public servants. The bill expands the definition of eligible parents to include not only peace officers and servicemembers but also judges or justices of state or federal courts in Texas. The language clarifies that a "parent" can also refer to a person standing in parental relation to a student. The bill specifies that the transfer request must be made by the parent, and the transfer must be to the campus or school district selected by the parent.

Additionally, the bill states that school districts are not required to provide transportation for students who transfer under this provision. The changes will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year, and the bill includes a provision that it will prevail over any conflicting legislation from the 89th Legislature. The act will take immediate effect if it receives a two-thirds vote from both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
