Relating to certain offenses and conduct subject to expulsion that are associated with possessing, carrying, exhibiting, or using a firearm on or within 1,000 feet of school property.

HB 2044 amends Texas Education Code to expand student expulsion grounds for firearm-related conduct near schools. It specifically allows expulsion if a student possesses, carries, exhibits, or uses a firearm within 1,000 feet of school property - significantly expanding the previous 300-foot zone for other offenses. The bill directly affects students who violate this firearm restriction, regardless of whether the conduct occurs on or off school grounds. Other provisions in the bill address drug use, violent conduct, and computer security violations within 300 feet of schools, but the key new policy change centers on the 1,000-foot firearm possession rule.
