S.B. No. 2929 amends Section 37.105 of the Education Code to allow referees, judges, or other officials of school-sponsored extracurricular athletic activities or competitions to eject spectators without the requirement of issuing a verbal warning or waiting for inappropriate behavior to persist. This change aims to enhance the authority of officials in maintaining order during athletic events, thereby ensuring a more positive environment for participants and attendees.

The bill is set to take effect at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, with provisions for immediate effect if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the legislature. If not, the law will become effective on September 1, 2025.
