Bill > HB5546

This bill creates a new section in the Texas Health and Safety Code that standardizes the submission deadline for all reports required under this code. Specifically, the bill mandates that any report which must be submitted to the governor or any member of the state legislature will now have a uniform due date of December 1 in the year the report is due, regardless of any previous conflicting provisions in existing law. This change aims to streamline and align reporting requirements, making it easier for state agencies and departments to manage their reporting obligations by providing a consistent, predictable deadline. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, giving state agencies and legislators advance notice of the new reporting timeline.
