Gov. Perry Announces Final Decisions
on Legislation
Issues Executive Order Supporting SBOE Role in
Electronic Textbook Approval Process
AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today announced his final deci-
sion on major legislation passed by the 81st Legislature.
“I am proud of the accomplishments lawmakers made this
session and thankful for their solid leadership,” said Gov. Per-
ry. “However, there was some legislation that, in its final form,
would have done more harm than good to our citizens. After thor-
oughly and thoughtfully reviewing all legislation, I am confident
that the final outcome of all bills passed will move Texas in the
right direction, equipping our state to answer future challenges
and providing better opportunities for all Texans.”
Gov. Perry signed legislation allowing public schools to pur-
chase electronic textbooks (HB 4294), and issued an accompany-
ing executive order (see link below to view) supporting the State
Board of Education’s (SBOE) role in the electronic textbook ap-
proval process.
“This legislation will further propel Texas schools into the
21st century and ensure that our students have access to the most
up-to-date information available in each subject,” said Gov. Per-
ry. “For districts that are ready for the transition to technology, it
will provide the flexibility to choose an alternative to traditional
textbooks to effectively educate students, bringing technological
advances to the classroom and enhancing our children’s learning
environment.”
The governor also announced his veto of legislation that
would create a new pre-kindergarten education grant program
(HB 130); however, a similar grant program already exists. Con-
sequently, Gov. Perry encourages the Texas Education Agency to
ensure the $25 million appropriated for HB 130 be used to expand
the number of students served by the existing pre-kindergarten
grant program which could reach 21,000 more students (a 305
percent increase) over the next biennium than would have been
served under HB 130.
Gov. Perry also vetoed SB 1440, which sought to clarify nar-
row and uncertain guidelines set by the Gates v. Texas Depart-
ment of Protective and Regulatory Services (DFPS) court case.
However, the bill goes too far. It creates uncertainty about how
DFPS would take children into custody which could potentially
infringe on the rights of parents and guardians.
“This court-created uncertainty is real and must be ad-
dressed, however I’m concerned SB 1440 overreaches and may
not give due consideration to the Fourth Amendment rights of
a parent or guardian,” said Gov. Perry. “I am directing DFPS,
to study the effect of the Gates decision on the ability of the de-
partment to appropriately enter a residence and, if necessary, to
transport the child for interviews in a neutral location. I am also
directing the department to develop and recommend statewide
procedures to follow when seeking court orders without compro-
mising the rights of parents and families.”
