HB 148: Relating to the use of artificial intelligence to score constructed responses on assessment instruments administered to public school students.

HB 148 prohibits Texas public schools from using artificial intelligence to score open-ended written responses (like essays) on state-mandated student assessments. It directly affects public school students, school districts, and the Texas Education Agency by banning AI scoring for all assessments under Section 39.023 of the Education Code and related systems. The bill adds a specific legal requirement to the Education Code, explicitly stating that AI scoring of constructed responses is not permitted. It takes effect for the 2026-2027 school year, applying to all assessments administered during that period.
