Relating to notice and opportunity for public comment for certain policies adopted or implemented by a state agency.

HB 5350 requires Texas state agencies to provide public notice and a comment period before adopting or implementing policies that affect private individuals' procedures or actions. Specifically, agencies must publish notices like they would for formal rules (per Government Code §2001.023) and allow meaningful public feedback similar to rulemaking comment periods (§2001.029(a)). Agencies must fully consider all public comments received. This applies to policies adopted or implemented on or after September 1, 2025, but excludes policies already governed by existing rulemaking procedures. The bill directly affects state agencies and the public seeking input on agency decisions impacting private citizens.
