HB 2564 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the evaluation of Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant applications.

HB 2564 creates a dedicated panel within the Texas Office of the Governor to evaluate applications for Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grants. This panel will score applications based on the significance of the grant's impact on local governments and other criteria set by the commission. The commission will use these scores to decide which applicants receive grants, but only if the legislature has specifically allocated funds for them. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects local governments seeking financial assistance related to defense economic adjustments.
