HB 131 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to the repeal of the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

HB 131 repeals the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas and transfers its funds to the Texas Education Agency. The transferred money would be used to reduce state property tax rates for homeowners. This bill only takes effect if voters approve a related constitutional amendment in 2025; otherwise, it has no legal impact. The legislation directly affects state funding allocations and property tax policy, with no changes to dementia research programs.
