Relating to a commission to coordinate celebrations of the bicentennial anniversary of Texas' independence.

HB 4405 creates the Texas 2036 Bicentennial Commission to coordinate events celebrating Texas' 200th anniversary of independence in 2036. The commission consists of 23 members: nine public appointees by the governor (reflecting Texas' diversity), three senators (appointed by the lieutenant governor), three House members (appointed by the Speaker), and eight current agency leaders from tourism, history, arts, and education. Members serve staggered six-year terms, with the governor appointing a presiding officer. The bill establishes a structure for planning and organizing the bicentennial celebrations but does not allocate funding or create new policies.
