The bill, S.B. No. 1793, mandates the comptroller of public accounts to prepare and submit an annual report to the legislature regarding veteran employment issues in Texas. This report, due by December 31 each year, will assess the impact of veteran-owned businesses on the state's gross domestic product and provide estimates on the number of employed and unemployed veterans, as well as the number of veteran-owned businesses in Texas.

To implement this requirement, the bill adds Section 403.0306 to Subchapter B, Chapter 403 of the Government Code. The new section outlines the specific content and deadlines for the report, emphasizing the importance of tracking veteran employment and business ownership as part of the state's economic landscape. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
