Bill Analysis

HB 1080 would prohibit schools from restricting University Interscholastic League (UIL) participation of students who receive outpatient mental health services from a mental health facility.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action supports HB 1080 on the principle of individual liberty. If a student is capable and otherwise eligible to participate in a UIL activity, their outpatient mental health treatments ought not factor into the matter.
