Relating to a study to review the animal friendly account.

HB 3829 requires the Texas Department of State Health Services, in partnership with the Texas Humane Legislation Network, to study how grants from the "animal friendly account" (funding for animal sterilization programs) are awarded. The study must analyze grant impacts on public animal sterilization, improve application processes, streamline reporting, increase grant awareness, and gather feedback from past grant recipients. The department must submit a final report with findings and recommendations to the legislature by September 1, 2026. This bill directly affects organizations applying for or receiving these grants, focusing on improving the grant process without making new funding rules.
