This bill establishes a committee to study the formation of a Texas Bicentennial Commission to plan the state's celebration of the 2036 bicentennial. The 18-member committee, composed of state legislators and residents from specific historic sites, will examine the composition, appointment process, and duties of the proposed commission. The committee must submit its recommendations to the legislature by December 30, 2022, and will be abolished on January 1, 2023. The bill provides administrative support from the General Land Office and Texas Historical Commission and requires the committee's meetings to be open to the public.
