Relating to a study by Texas State University on the expected effects of future climate change in this state and the preparedness of this state to address those effects.

HB 1526 requires Texas State University to conduct a study on the expected economic, agricultural, and environmental impacts of climate change in Texas, including effects like droughts and natural disasters. The study must also assess the state's preparedness to address these impacts. Texas State University must submit a final report to the governor, lieutenant governor, and all state legislators by December 1, 2026. The bill expires on January 1, 2027, and does not create new laws or funding but mandates a state-wide analysis to inform future policy decisions.
