H.B. No. 4072 proposes amendments to the Government Code regarding the relocation of state agency headquarters. The bill modifies Section 325.008(a) by adding a requirement for the commission to conduct an evaluation as mandated by the newly introduced Section 325.0085. This new section outlines a process for evaluating the cost savings associated with relocating the headquarters of state agencies currently located in Travis County or adjacent counties. The evaluation will consider factors such as the costs of leasing or purchasing new office space, moving expenses, the market value of existing state-owned properties, and any other relevant information.

If the commission determines that relocating a state agency's headquarters would result in cost savings, the agency is required to proceed with the relocation to the specified location. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
