Relating to the establishment of the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Authority and a Texas nuclear permitting officer.

SB 1105 creates the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Authority to strengthen the state's nuclear industry and accelerate integration of advanced nuclear technology into Texas' power grid by 2035. The authority, administratively attached to the governor's office, will develop strategic plans, identify regulatory obstacles, and support nuclear projects through an executive committee with members appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor, and legislative leaders, plus university representatives. It directly affects Texas' existing and future nuclear energy companies, research institutions, and regulatory stakeholders by providing coordinated policy leadership. Key provisions include managing nuclear projects for grid interconnection, supporting supply chain development, and implementing recommendations from a prior working group. The bill does not change current regulatory processes but establishes a new state entity to streamline nuclear energy growth.
