The bill, H.B. No. 167, amends the Education Code by adding a new subsection that prohibits the use of artificial intelligence to score constructed responses on assessment instruments administered to public school students. This prohibition applies to assessments under Section 39.023 and any assessment systems developed under Section 39.027(e).

The new regulation will take effect starting with the 2026-2027 school year, ensuring that human evaluators are responsible for scoring constructed responses rather than relying on artificial intelligence. The bill is set to become law 91 days after the conclusion of the current legislative session.
