Relating to a prohibition on the use of public money by a school district to transport district students or employees to or from a polling place.

SB 1434 prohibits Texas school districts from using public funds to transport students or employees to or from voting locations on election days or during early voting periods. The bill specifically bans school districts from using taxpayer money for this purpose, except when transporting students to their regular school campus or for school-sponsored activities. This law directly affects school districts by restricting how they can allocate public funds related to student and staff transportation on election days. The policy takes effect September 1, 2025, and is codified under Section 11.1691 of the Texas Education Code.
