Bill > SB2400

This bill modifies the sunset review process for several Texas state agencies and makes amendments to the Texas Sunset Act. It extends the sunset dates for the Credit Union Department and Commission to September 1, 2031 (previously 2035), adjusts the review schedule for the State Office of Administrative Hearings, and changes the sunset date for the Texas Juvenile Justice Board and Department to September 1, 2031 (previously 2027). The bill also gives the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners a new sunset date of September 1, 2033. Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to the Sunset Advisory Commission's procedures, including expanding reporting requirements for agencies under review, clarifying the role of public members, and modifying language about agency oversight. The bill includes a specific provision for a limited-scope review of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department by the 90th Legislature, requiring a report on various aspects of the department's operations, including a federal Department of Justice investigation, youth waitlists, staffing, and facility construction. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the necessary immediate effect vote.
