Relating to the creation of a select interim committee to review and make recommendations for substantive changes to ethics laws.

HB 1555 creates a temporary committee to study Texas ethics laws, including campaign finance, lobbying, and financial disclosure rules. The committee, composed of appointed legislators (four from the Senate and House, with co-chairs) and public members plus the Ethics Commission chair, will assess whether current laws achieve their goals and recommend specific changes. It must submit findings and proposed statutory changes by December 20, 2026, after which the committee is abolished. This bill does not alter ethics laws directly but establishes a process for potential future revisions.
