BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 37.0811, Education Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (i) to read as follows: | ||
(i) A school district or open-enrollment charter school may | ||
enter into a memorandum of understanding with another school | ||
district or open-enrollment charter school under which a school | ||
marshal appointed to a campus of the district or school may | ||
temporarily act as a school marshal at a campus of the other | ||
district or school for the duration of an event occurring at the | ||
campus of the other district or school at which both districts or | ||
schools are participating. The memorandum of understanding must | ||
comply with the requirements for written regulations under this | ||
section and may be used to satisfy the requirement for written | ||
regulations or written authorization under Section 46.03(a)(1), | ||
Penal Code, to allow that school marshal to carry a firearm on the | ||
premises of the district or school at which the event occurs. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2023. |
