Bill Analysis

SB 289 would allow a school district to excuse students from one day of school for the purpose of obtaining a driver's license or learner's permit.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action supports SB 289 on the principle of individual liberty. Allowing students these days off at the discretion of the district aids the personal freedom of Texas students.
