HB 810 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the requirements for hearings and meetings conducted by the University Interscholastic League.

HB 810 requires the University Interscholastic League (UIL) to update its hearing and meeting procedures to improve transparency and fairness for schools and students involved in UIL contests. The bill mandates that all hearings be recorded (audio/video), made publicly accessible online within 24 hours, and accompanied by written notice at least five business days in advance - including details about evidence and witnesses. It prohibits anonymous complaints, shifts the burden of proof to the party alleging a violation, and requires state executive committees to accept all appeals from district decisions before imposing penalties. These changes directly affect schools, students, and UIL committees by standardizing due process and increasing accountability in contest rule disputes.
