SB 446 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to term limits for members of the senate serving on the Sunset Advisory Commission.

SB 446 imposes a two-term limit on Texas Senators serving on the Sunset Advisory Commission. It prohibits Senate members from being reappointed after serving two full terms on the commission, and also prevents immediate reappointment following a full term. The bill directly affects Senators appointed to the Sunset Commission, which reviews state agencies' effectiveness. The key provision amends the Government Code to limit consecutive service, taking effect September 1, 2025. This is a policy change restricting reappointment eligibility, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
