Relating to the creation of a grant program to promote educational engagement with Texas history.

SB 519 creates a grant program administered by the Texas Historical Commission to support educational engagement with Texas history. It provides annual funding to nonprofit organizations that host statewide history competitions for school-aged students and publish student or faculty works on Texas history. The commission must establish application procedures by October 1, 2025, and monitor grant recipients through performance contracts. The bill became law on June 20, 2025, after passing both legislative chambers and receiving the governor's signature.
