Proposing a constitutional amendment protecting private schools from state and local regulation.

HJR 136 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit state and local governments from regulating the educational programs of private schools, including home schools, in Texas. If approved by voters, it would add a new section to the Texas Constitution explicitly stating that state agencies and political subdivisions cannot regulate private school curricula, operations, or educational content. The amendment would apply broadly to all private schools operating within Texas, removing current regulatory authority for state and local education oversight. The proposal must be submitted to voters in the November 2025 election for approval. This is a procedural measure requiring voter ratification, not an immediate law.
