Relating to the creation and re-creation of funds and accounts, the dedication and rededication of revenue and allocation of accrued interest on dedicated revenue, and the exemption of unappropriated money from use for general governmental purposes.
SB 2191 is a procedural bill that would automatically terminate most new state funds created by the 2025 Texas Legislature by August 31, 2025, redirecting their money to general revenue unless specifically exempted. Key exemptions include funds required by federal law, existing trust accounts, bond funds, and constitutional dedications. This affects all state agencies (except universities) by changing how they manage dedicated revenue streams created during the 89th Legislature. The bill does not create new policies but establishes a sunset for newly created financial mechanisms.
