TX SB2623

Prohibits publicly-funded homeless navigation service providers from operating facilities within 1,500 feet of independent school district campuses or institutions of higher education, with a 30-day compliance period after receiving notice of violation

Creates an 11-member Safe Schools and Neighborhoods Task Force appointed by the governor, including representatives from DPS, attorney general, Texas Education Agency, and various state agencies, to identify violating facilities and make legislative recommendations

Establishes civil penalties of $5,000 per day for service providers who continue operating after receiving a stop order, with the attorney general authorized to seek injunctive relief and revocation of the provider's registration or certificate of formation

Exempts numerous entities from the prohibition, including emergency disaster shelters, hospitals, mental health facilities, chemical dependency treatment centers, family violence centers, federally qualified health centers, facilities separated from schools by highways, and facilities near campuses larger than 20 acres

Requires the task force to submit an initial report by September 1, 2026, with recommendations on licensing navigation service providers through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, followed by biennial reports thereafter
