Legislative Review of Rules Governing Physical Restraint and Seclusion
⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.
This proposed bill would initiate a legislative review of the rules governing physical restraint and seclusion in educational settings under Chapter 33. Before this change, there was no specific requirement for such a review by the legislature. The affected parties include the Department of Education, State Board of Education, and potentially schools and educators who must adhere to these rules. If enacted, it would require legislative scrutiny on how physical restraint and seclusion are regulated in educational environments. However, as this is proposed legislation, no action is required at present.
