SB 950 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a public hearing requirement for a proposal by the governor or the Legislative Budget Board to affect appropriations and certain actions of the governor during a state of disaster.

SB 950 requires public hearings before the Legislative Budget Board can approve or reject governor proposals affecting state appropriations or certain actions during a declared disaster. It also limits the governor’s executive orders during disasters to only address specific conditions of that disaster and mandates weekly online publication of all such orders on a public disaster web portal. The bill applies to proposals made on or after its effective date (September 1, 2025) and directly affects the governor, the Legislative Budget Board, and state agencies managing disaster response. Key provisions include requiring 10-day notice for hearings, restricting executive orders to relevant disaster conditions, and creating a centralized online hub for disaster-related orders and information.
