Texas ends jail time for truancy under new state law
Governor Abbott signed HB 2398, ending criminal prosecutions for truancy. The reform shifts to civil cases and truancy court, expungement of prior convictions, and caps fines at $500 per day for habitual truants while exempting cases like pregnancy and homelessness. The move follows criticism of punitive measures and concerns about students' due process.
