SB 2268 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to loans and grants awarded from the Texas energy fund.

SB 2268 amends Texas law to allow the Texas Energy Commission to extend the December 31, 2025, deadline for disbursing initial funds for energy loans if market conditions require it. Applicants may request disbursement after this deadline, and the Commission must review each request individually and approve or deny it. The bill directly affects businesses and projects seeking loans from the Texas Energy Fund. It creates a case-by-case process for deadline extensions while maintaining the original deadline as the default. The law took effect immediately upon the Governor's signature on June 12, 2025.
