SB 1850 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to data collection of truancy case outcomes.

SB 1850 requires Texas truancy courts to collect and annually report detailed data on truancy case outcomes to the Office of Court Administration. The bill mandates reporting on specific metrics like referrals, dismissals, petitions filed, judgments issued, remedial orders (such as school attendance requirements or community service), and fines assessed, broken down by factors including school district, race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. This data must be published online in a searchable format for public access. The bill directly affects truancy courts and school districts by establishing standardized data collection on how truancy cases are handled. It does not change truancy laws or penalties but creates a centralized database for transparency and analysis.
