H.B. No. 552 mandates the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to conduct a study aimed at establishing appraisal standards for ad valorem tax purposes specifically for agricultural land utilized for raising or keeping bees. The study will take into account various factors that may influence the appraisal, including geographic variations affecting pollination and production, the number of bee colonies, and the amount of commercial products generated from the bees.

The bill requires the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to submit a report detailing the study's findings by April 1, 2028, to key state officials, including the governor and members of the legislature. Additionally, the act is set to expire on September 1, 2029, and will take effect immediately if it secures a two-thirds majority vote in both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
