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 to eject spectators without the requirement of a verbal warning or the need to address inappropriate behavior first. This change aims to enhance the authority of officials in maintaining order during athletic events, ensuring a more conducive environment for participants and spectators alike.

The new provision, designated as Subsection (a-1), will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill will become effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds majority vote from both houses; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
