Texas HB1316 requires special education students to have a knowledgeable team member during threat assessments.

Texas HB1316 amends the Education Code to ensure that when a student in a special education program is the subject of a threat assessment, the team conducting the assessment must include a member of the student's admission, review, and dismissal committee. This member must have specific knowledge of the student's disability and the special education services they receive. The changes apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
