Relating to the repeal of the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

HB 179 repeals the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas and its associated fund, effective December 1, 2025, contingent on voter approval of a related constitutional amendment. The bill directs the comptroller to transfer all funds previously allocated to the institute to the Texas Education Agency to reduce the state's property tax compression percentage for school districts. This transfer would use the funds for property tax relief, specifically targeting the reduction of the compression percentage under Education Code Section 48.255. The bill has no effect if voters reject the constitutional amendment.
