SB4 blocked by a federal judge (En Español)

As of February 29, 2024, Senate Bill 4 was blocked by a federal judge, though the State of Texas could appeal the ruling. This law was slated to go into effect March 5. The specifics about SB4 remain unclear, yet it's important to understand that certain places, including all Austin ISD schools, remain protected zones - meaning these are places where this law cannot be enforced. Notably, the Austin ISD Police Department will not be enforcing this law, further ensuring the safety and security of our students and families.
