Maddy summaryHB 301 requires Texas state employers to provide up to 20 hours of unpaid leave per fiscal year for employees to attend prenatal care appointments. It directly affects all state employees in the executive, judicial, and legislative branches who need to schedule medical appointments related to pregnancy. The bill defines "prenatal care" to include physical exams, medical procedures, monitoring/testing, and provider discussions about pregnancy. This leave is in addition to existing leave benefits under state law and takes effect September 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryHB 289 would reduce the amount that certain school districts must lower their local revenue when it exceeds the state's public school funding allocation. This bill directly affects school districts currently required to cut local spending above the state's allocated funding level under the public school finance system. The key provision adjusts the calculation for required revenue reductions, making the mandated cut smaller for these districts. This change provides increased financial flexibility without altering the state's overall funding formula.
