HB 1545 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the sunset review process and certain governmental entities subject to that process.

HB 1545 modifies sunset review schedules for several Texas state agencies. It moves the sunset date for the Texas Department of Insurance and Office of Public Insurance Counsel from 2029 to September 1, 2027, and changes the Credit Union Department's sunset from 2035 to September 1, 2031. The bill also requires a limited-scope review of the Texas Funeral Service Commission specifically focusing on willed body programs, non-transplant anatomical donation organizations, and anatomical facilities. This legislation, signed into law by the governor on June 20, 2025, directly affects these state agencies and their regulatory oversight. The changes are effective immediately upon the governor's signature.
