Texas Senate Bill 57

Texas Senate Bill 57 was passed during the recent 89th Legislative Session and went into effect immediately. It requires IEP and Section 504 teams to identify and document accommodations that a student with a disability may need during school drills or emergency situations, and to share that information with school administrators responsible for emergency planning. Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, students' IEPs and 504 plans must include this information.
