Relating to requiring the Texas Education Agency to prepare a report regarding public education mandates.

HB 2443 requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to create a comprehensive report identifying all public education mandates in Texas. A "public education mandate" is defined as any federal or state requirement forcing school districts to spend money they wouldn't otherwise need to spend. The report must detail each mandate's authorizing law, funding status (fully/partially/unfunded), cost estimates, and whether mandates overlap or conflict. The TEA must deliver this report to state leadership by December 1, 2026, and make it available online for public access and periodic updates. This bill directly affects school districts by documenting financial obligations and provides transparency for lawmakers.
