H.B. No. 148 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 new provision specifically applies to assessments conducted under Section 39.023 and any assessment systems developed under Section 39.027(e).

The bill is set to take effect on the 91st day after the conclusion of the legislative session and will be applicable starting with the 2026-2027 school year. This legislation aims to ensure that human evaluation remains a critical component in assessing student responses, thereby maintaining the integrity of the assessment process.
