Relating to the establishment of the Task Force on Modernizing Manufacturing.

SB 2925 establishes a 15-member Task Force on Modernizing Manufacturing to study how Texas manufacturers can adopt automation and digital technologies. The task force includes representatives from small, mid-sized, and large manufacturers, automation experts, labor organizations, and state education agencies. Its duties include identifying barriers to technology adoption, developing policy recommendations, and assessing economic impacts like job creation and competitiveness.
