The bill proposes to rename the Sunset Advisory Commission to the Sunset Legislative Initiative for Cost Efficiency Advisory Commission (SLICE) and outlines the commission's updated duties. Key amendments include changes to the title of Chapter 325 of the Government Code, which will now reflect the new name, and the introduction of the acronym SLICE. The definition of "Commission" is also updated to specify the new name, and a new section is added to clarify that references to the Sunset Advisory Commission in existing law will now refer to the renamed commission.

Additionally, the bill establishes that the Sunset Legislative Initiative for Cost Efficiency Advisory Commission will retain all powers, duties, rights, and obligations of the former commission, effective January 1, 2026. It mandates that the commission adopt a timetable to phase in the name change to minimize fiscal impact and allows the commission to operate under both names until the effective date. The bill emphasizes the continuity of operations and responsibilities during the transition period, ensuring that all existing personnel and resources remain intact. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
