Relating to requiring parental consent for the use of corporal punishment in public schools.

HB 3025 requires public school districts that permit corporal punishment as student discipline to obtain written parental consent before using it. Parents or guardians must provide separate annual written consent for each child, which remains effective until revoked or the student graduates/leaves the district. Schools may require annual renewal of this consent, and parents can revoke permission anytime during the school year. The law applies starting the 2025-2026 school year and directly affects school districts using corporal punishment and the families of enrolled students.
