Relating to the task force on pollinator health.

HB 1437 creates a state task force to address pollinator health, directly affecting Texas agricultural stakeholders, environmental groups, and public land management. The task force - appointed by the governor with members representing universities, nurseries, agriculture, pollinator protection, pesticide applicators, master gardeners, beekeepers, and wildlife experts - will study ways to incentivize pollinator habitat development, evaluate successful public education models from other states, analyze data collection methods for pollinator populations, and identify strategies to prevent habitat loss. The task force must submit a final report with recommendations to agriculture committees by October 1, 2026. This bill establishes a structured process for gathering stakeholder input and developing policy options, without mandating specific actions.
