H.B. No. 332
 
 
 
 
AN ACT
  relating to the use of school district buildings as polling place
  locations.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 37.108, Education Code, is amended by
  adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
         (e)  A school district shall include in its multihazard
  emergency operations plan a policy for school district property
  selected for use as a polling place under Section 43.031, Election
  Code. In developing the policy under this subsection, the board of
  trustees may consult with the local law enforcement agency with
  jurisdiction over the school district property selected as a
  polling place regarding reasonable security accommodations that
  may be made to the property. This subsection may not be interpreted
  to require the board of trustees to obtain or contract for the
  presence of law enforcement or security personnel for the purpose
  of securing a polling place located on school district property.
  Failure to comply with this subsection does not affect the
  requirement of the board of trustees to make a school facility
  available for use as a polling place under Section 43.031, Election
  Code.
         SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
