H.B. No. 5263 amends Section 26.005 of the Education Code to enhance parental access to state assessment results for their children. The bill stipulates that parents are entitled to a copy of each state assessment instrument administered to their child, as previously established. Additionally, it introduces new provisions that require the agency to make the results of these assessments available to parents with no more than one click from the agency's website.

Furthermore, the bill outlines that the student identifying information necessary for parents to access these results must adhere to agency security protocols, be unique to the student, and be controlled by the parent or guardian without needing to obtain further information from third parties. This legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
