HB 3369 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the removal of a spectator of certain school extracurricular athletic activities or competitions.

HB 3369 amends Texas Education Code to change how school officials handle disruptive spectators at athletic events. It removes the requirement for referees or judges to issue a verbal warning before ejecting spectators who behave inappropriately. The law directly affects school officials (like referees) and spectators at district or UIL-sanctioned sports events, allowing immediate ejection without prior warnings. The bill applies starting the 2025-2026 school year and takes effect September 1, 2025, unless it receives a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
