The bill, S.B. No. 2414, seeks to prohibit the regulation of homeschool programs in Texas by adding a new section to the Education Code. Specifically, it introduces Section 1.007, which states that neither the Texas Education Agency, the State Board of Education, nor any educational institution can create rules that would increase the regulation of educational programs as defined in Section 29.916(a)(1). This aims to ensure that homeschool programs remain free from additional oversight or regulatory burdens.

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