Texas HB549 mandates public school districts to have airway clearance devices available at each campus.

HB549 requires Texas public school districts to ensure the availability of at least one airway clearance device at each campus, suitable for most students. The device must be stored where students commonly eat. Districts can obtain these devices through donations or purchases using donated funds. They must also ensure at least one trained employee is present when many students are around. The devices must comply with manufacturer guidelines and laws. The act does not affect the districts' legal immunity. It applies starting from the 2025-2026 school year.
