Relating to a requirement that public schools issue student identification cards to high school students.

HB 4197 requires all Texas public high schools to issue student identification cards to every high school student enrolled in the district. The cards must include the student's name, photograph, and month/year of birth. This mandate applies to all public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools beginning with the 2025-2026 school year.

It does not include additional features or security measures beyond the specified information.
