Texas HB3991 amends the Education Code to redefine misconduct by public school employees, including abuse, neglect, and unlawful acts with students. It mandates that certain misconducts, such as engaging in a romantic relationship with a student, possessing controlled substances, or committing a felony, lead to the employee's name being added to a registry of ineligible employees. The bill also requires superintendents or directors to notify the commissioner of employee terminations or resignations due to misconduct.
