Summary: HB 454 would permit a relative to provide an affidavit to a school where a child is being enrolled so that the child can attend the school. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) would provide the form and post on their website.
Analysis: HB 454 would reduce cost to families by allowing relatives to provide an affidavit rather than a court order for a student to attend school. Furthermore, this would reduce the scope of government by removing a regulation that requires a legal guardian or a court order to permit attendance. We support HB 454.
