Summary — HB 25-1307: Updating Technical References in Education Law

Status: Governor Signed (2025-06-04)
Introduced: 2025-03-20
Classification: Bill

Purpose and intent

HB 25-1307 is a technical, non‑substantive housekeeping bill intended to update and correct statutory references and related language throughout the state's education statutes. Its primary purpose is to remove obsolete citations, correct cross‑references, reflect current agency or program names, fix typographical errors, and otherwise harmonize statutory text so the Education Code accurately points to current law and administrative structures.

Key provisions (general)

The publicly available summary does not include the bill text. Based on the bill title and legislative history, HB 25-1307 likely includes one or more of the following types of changes:

  • Update cross‑references and statutory citations to reflect recent recodifications or amendments.
  • Replace obsolete agency, board, or program names with current official names.
  • Correct typographical, drafting, or punctuation errors that could cause confusion in statutory language.
  • Harmonize definitions and terminology across related education statutes to ensure consistency.
  • Clarify procedural references (for example, updating section numbers cited for rulemaking or reporting requirements).

These changes are primarily technical and intended to improve clarity and legal accuracy rather than to change policy, funding, or substantive rights and obligations.

Who is affected

  • State education agencies (e.g., Department/State Board of Education) and their legal/regulatory staff will benefit from clarified citations and names.
  • School districts, charter schools, educators, and lawyers who rely on statutory cross‑references will experience fewer citation errors and less confusion when locating legal requirements.
  • The changes should not materially alter program eligibility, funding levels, or regulatory standards for students or school personnel.
