H.B. No. 2308 proposes the establishment of the Texas Commission on Border Security and Illegal Immigration, which will be an advisory body composed of 11 members, including key state officials such as the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house, along with appointed representatives from both the House and Senate. The commission is tasked with conducting comprehensive reviews and studies related to the impacts of illegal immigration, examining relevant state and federal laws, and developing a coordinated state plan to address immigration issues. The commission will also have the authority to request information from state agencies and hold public hearings to gather input from the community.

The bill outlines specific powers and duties for the commission, including the requirement to report annually to the legislature and governor on its activities and recommendations. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration with state agencies and the public in addressing immigration-related challenges. The commission is expected to operate without compensation for its members, who may receive per diem and travel expenses. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
