SB 2125 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a study to review the animal friendly account.

SB 2125 requires the Texas Department of State Health Services (in collaboration with the Texas Humane Legislation Network) to study the process for awarding grants from the "animal friendly account" (a fund under Health and Safety Code Section 828.014). The study must analyze how these grants impact public animal sterilization, evaluate application and reporting processes, increase awareness of available grants, and gather feedback from past grant recipients. The department must submit a report with findings and recommendations to the legislature by September 1, 2026. This bill directly affects the state agency managing the grants and organizations seeking funding, but does not change existing funding or programs.
