Bill > SB2925

This bill establishes the Task Force on Modernizing Manufacturing, a 15-member advisory group created to study and support the advancement of manufacturing in Texas. The task force will be composed of representatives from various sectors, including small, mid-sized, and large manufacturers, experts in automation and digital technologies, the Texas Workforce Commission, organized labor, the Texas Education Agency, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The task force's primary responsibilities include studying the current state of manufacturing in Texas, identifying barriers to adopting automation and digital technologies, developing recommendations for policies and programs to support manufacturing modernization, and evaluating the potential economic impacts of these efforts. The task force is required to prepare and deliver a comprehensive report to state leadership by October 1, 2026, detailing its findings and recommendations for legislative or other actions. The office overseeing the task force will provide necessary administrative support, and the task force will be dissolved on September 1, 2027, effectively making it a two-year initiative to explore and potentially advance manufacturing innovation in the state.
