The bill proposes the establishment of the Religious Freedom Commission within the office of the governor of Texas, as outlined in the newly added Chapter 452 to the Government Code. The commission will consist of seven members appointed by the governor, who must be residents of Texas and have a demonstrated interest or leadership experience in religious liberty issues. Members will serve staggered six-year terms, with the first appointments set to ensure a mix of term expirations. The commission's responsibilities include advancing religious freedom, advising the governor on related matters, and making recommendations on policies that affect religious rights.

Additionally, the commission will engage in educational and advocacy efforts to promote awareness of religious liberty. The office of the governor will provide administrative support, and the commission will have the authority to accept gifts and grants to fund its activities. The bill specifies that all legislative appropriations for the commission will be part of the governor's budget request process. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
