H.B. No. 4687 amends the Education Code to extend immunity from liability and suit to certain charter school campuses and programs, aligning their protections with those of school districts. Specifically, the bill states that campuses or programs granted a charter under specified sections are immune from liability to the same extent as school districts, and their employees and volunteers enjoy similar protections. Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that grant immunity to members of the governing bodies of these entities, equating their liability protections to those of school district trustees.

Furthermore, the bill adds a new section, 12.2525, which explicitly states that eligible entities operating adult education programs under a charter are also immune from liability and suit, mirroring the protections afforded to school districts. This includes immunity for their employees, volunteers, and governing body members. The act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if such a vote is not achieved.
