Rep. Candy Noble introduced HB 1628, a bill on Education and Fire Fighters & Police, to the Texas House on Wednesday, March 12 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the transfer of certain public school students who are children of peace officers’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

This bill amends the Education Code to facilitate student transfers for children of peace officers within Texas public schools. Upon request from a peace officer who is a parent or guardian, a school district's board of trustees must transfer the student to another district campus or a different school district in the state, even if there's no existing agreement between the districts. However, transfers can be denied if the destination school or district is at full capacity or has more transfer requests than available spots. Importantly, districts cannot charge tuition for these transfers. The bill is set to apply beginning with the 2025-26 school year and will take effect immediately upon a two-thirds majority vote in each legislative house, otherwise taking effect on Sept. 1, 2025.

Candy Noble, member of the House Committee on Ways & Means and vice chair of the House Committee on S/C on Property Tax Appraisals, proposed another three bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Noble graduated from Hardin-Simmons University.

Candy Noble is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 89th House district. She replaced previous state representative Jodie Laubenberg in 2019.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
