Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.

KeepTXRed summary
SB 1177 adds automated external defibrillator readiness checks to required fire-safety inspections at public and private schools.
What would change
School fire inspections must include examination of each campus AED for functionality, including unexpired pads and batteries and a ready status indicator. Inspectors must report results, and firefighter training standards must address these inspections.
Who may be affected
Public schools, charter schools, private schools, students and staff, fire inspectors, and the Texas Commission on Fire Protection.
When it would take effect
The act became effective September 1, 2025.
Limits and uncertainty
The law adds AED checks to otherwise required fire inspections; it does not replace separate education or health-law requirements governing AED availability, training, or emergency response.
