HB 3512 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to artificial intelligence training programs for certain employees and officials of state agencies and local governments.

HB 3512 requires state agency employees who use computers for at least 25% of their duties and local governments applying for certain grants to complete annual cybersecurity and artificial intelligence training. The law mandates that state agencies identify qualifying employees, while local governments must certify training compliance when applying for grants under Chapter 772 of the Government Code. Failure to meet these requirements results in a local government losing the grant award and being ineligible for future grants for two years. The bill directly affects state agency staff and local government officials handling cybersecurity or grant applications, with training programs needing certification under existing state law.

MINOR
The bill was finalized from its Engrossed version to the Enrolled version, which is the final version sent to the Governor for signature. The substantive policy content regarding artificial intelligence training requirements for state and local government employees remains unchanged; the differences are primarily formatting, spacing, and the addition of final certification signatures and dates.
TECHNICAL

Added final Enrolled version header and footer signatures certifying passage by the House and Senate, including specific vote counts and dates.

Removed internal legislative markup indicators, line numbers, and draft annotations that were present in the Engrossed version.

Adjusted text spacing and line breaks throughout the document to conform to final enrolled formatting standards.
