Caption

Instructing the enrolling clerk of the house to make corrections in H.B. No. 2488.

Impact

By clarifying the existing provisions in the added Section 31.004 of the Education Code, the resolution essentially ensures that school districts and open-enrollment charter schools are explicitly not mandated to provide any additional textbooks or instructional materials beyond what is required under current law. This adjustment potentially reduces the financial burden on educational institutions in providing supplementary materials that may not be essential for their instructional programs.

Summary

HCR284 is a concurrent resolution instructing the enrolling clerk of the Texas House of Representatives to correct House Bill No. 2488. This resolution acknowledges that HB 2488 has been adopted by both the Senate and the House of Representatives and is in the final stages of preparation for enrollment. The focus of HCR284 is specifically on correcting technical and typographical errors found in the language of HB 2488.

Contention

Although HCR284 is primarily a technical correction, any discussions around HB 2488 could involve broader implications regarding educational funding and resources in Texas. Supporters of these adjustments might argue that it streamlines educational requirements, allowing schools to operate more efficiently. Conversely, critics may express concern that limiting materials could prevent students from accessing the full spectrum of educational resources necessary for a comprehensive education.
