Relating to access to certain Internet websites in public schools.
HB 2469 prohibits Texas public school districts and charter schools from blocking student access to websites providing resources on seven specific topics: mental health/suicide prevention, human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, substance abuse, and bullying. The bill bans the use of filtering software to restrict these sites, requiring schools to allow student access to these educational resources. It applies to all public schools beginning with the 2025-2026 school year. The legislation does not mandate specific content but prevents schools from blocking access to these designated resource websites.
