Establishes policies for timely emergency notifications at Texas public higher education institutions.

The bill amends the Education Code to require the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to adopt rules for standardized emergency notification procedures at public institutions of higher education. These rules must comply with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act and include emergency alerts through the system required under Section 51.218. The board must consult with administrators, faculty, staff, and students when adopting these rules. The act takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses, otherwise it takes effect September 1, 2025.
