Texas HB3440 repeals the authority to exclude students without certain immunizations from public schools during emergencies or epidemics.

Texas HB3440 repeals Section 38.001(f) of the Education Code, which previously allowed the exclusion of students without certain immunizations from attending public school during emergencies or epidemics. This change means that schools cannot exclude students based on immunization status during such times. The Act takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from all members elected to each house, otherwise it takes effect September 1, 2025.
