Co-sponsor HB 196

In committee · Texas House · Co-sponsor

Relating to the inclusion of instruction regarding the beginning of human life in the health curriculum for public school students.

Maddy summaryHB 196 requires Texas public school districts to include in health curriculum a specific lesson stating "human life begins at conception and has inherent dignity and immeasurable worth from the moment of conception." This applies to all K-12 public schools starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill amends the Education Code to mandate this instruction as part of the required health curriculum under "mental health" provisions. It directly affects public school students and curriculum content in Texas, without altering other health topics like nutrition or suicide prevention.

In committee · Texas House · Co-sponsor

Relating to prohibiting the recognition, service, and enforcement of extreme risk protective orders; creating a criminal offense.

Maddy summaryHB 162 prohibits Texas state and local entities (including courts, law enforcement, and government agencies) from recognizing, serving, or enforcing "extreme risk protective orders" (orders that temporarily restrict firearm access to prevent harm). The bill creates a criminal offense for anyone who attempts to enforce such an order within Texas, and bans acceptance of federal grants for implementing these orders. It directly affects Texas law enforcement, courts, and government agencies by preventing them from complying with these orders, which are typically issued to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a risk. The bill defines these orders as court-issued directives not based on criminal charges, focusing on firearm restrictions for safety.
