	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to required contract provisions in the employment contract
	for a school district educator.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 21.002, Education Code, is amended by
	adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
	(f) A contract described by Subsection (a) for an educator
	must include provisions that:
	(1) specify the number of days of service during which
	the educator is required to perform duties or responsibilities
	under the contract, including all duties and responsibilities
	connected with the instruction and supervision of students;
	(2) specify the first and last days of service of the
	contract term; and
	(3) require the district to compensate the educator at
	the educator's daily rate of pay for any additional days of service
	that exceed the number of days of service specified under
	Subdivision (1).
	SECTION 2. Section 21.002(f), Education Code, as added by
	this Act, applies only to a contract entered into on or after the
	effective date of this Act. A contract entered into before the
	effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the
	day the contract was entered into, and the former law is continued
	in effect for that purpose.
	SECTION 3. 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.
