H.B. No. 2308 establishes the Texas Commission on Border Security and Illegal Immigration, which will serve as an advisory body composed of 11 members, including key state officials such as the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house, as well as representatives from both legislative chambers. The commission is tasked with conducting comprehensive reviews of the impacts of illegal immigration, examining relevant state and federal laws, and developing a coordinated state plan to address immigration issues. It will also recommend necessary legislative actions to the governor and legislature and is required to meet at least quarterly.

The bill outlines the commission's powers and duties, including the ability to request information from state agencies, invite testimony from various stakeholders, and hold public hearings. Additionally, the commission is mandated to report annually to the legislature and governor on its activities and recommendations, with an initial report due within six months of its first meeting. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
