Relating to instruction in human trafficking awareness in public schools.
HB 1911 requires Texas public schools to include human trafficking awareness as a mandatory part of the curriculum for students in grades 6 through 12. The bill specifies that middle school students (grades 6-8) must learn about trafficking causes, warning signs, online safety, and how traffickers recruit youth, while high school students (grades 9-12) add lessons on commercial sex exploitation, gender vulnerabilities, and survivor support. Schools must follow state-developed, age-appropriate lessons covering identification, prevention, reporting methods, and interventions. This directly affects all Texas public school districts serving K-12 students, mandating new curriculum content without altering existing funding or enforcement mechanisms.
