SB 1901 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the administration of the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council and Texas Opioid Abatement Trust Fund.

This bill amends Texas law governing the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council and Trust Fund. It establishes staggered six-year terms for council members (with terms expiring February 1 of odd-numbered years) and requires members to recuse themselves from votes if they have financial ties to applicants for funds. The bill also allows the trust company to reallocate funds if counties or municipalities fail to deposit money within two years or formally refuse it. These changes directly affect the council members, local governments receiving opioid abatement funds, and the trust company managing the fund.
