Texas SB167 mandates substitute teaching for state senators and representatives in their districts.

Texas SB167 requires each member of the senate and the house of representatives to substitute teach at a public school in their district for at least one school day each school year. Members must report their compliance to the respective house committee on administration, which will maintain a public list of non-compliant members. The law takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both houses, otherwise it will take effect on September 1, 2025. The changes apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
