Bill Analysis

SB 869 would require the commissioner of the Texas Education Agency to appoint members to an ad hoc committee to update the current guidelines on food allergy management to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. This committee would be required to meet at least every three years. School districts would be required to post a summary of the guidelines on their websites.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action remains neutral on SB 869 because it does not affect our liberty principles.
