HB 2391 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the procedure for determining whether a student's violation of a public school's or public institution of higher education's student code of conduct was motivated by antisemitism.

HB 2391 requires Texas public schools and colleges to use the state's official definition of antisemitism (from Government Code Section 448.001, including its examples) when determining if a student's conduct violation under school rules was motivated by antisemitism. It applies to disciplinary actions taken by school districts and public institutions of higher education. The bill mandates schools consider this specific definition as "instructive" in such cases, without creating new penalties. The law takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
