S.B. No. 2075 amends various sections of the Texas Agriculture, Education, Government, and Occupations Codes to redefine the governance and operational structure of advisory bodies associated with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The bill replaces the term "committees" with "boards" throughout multiple sections, including those related to the Texas Tax Professional Advisory Board and the Property Tax Consultants Advisory Board. It establishes that advisory board members will serve staggered six-year terms, with the presiding officer of the commission appointing a member to serve as the presiding officer of the advisory board for a two-year term. The bill also clarifies that Chapter 2110 of the Government Code does not apply to the size, composition, or duration of these boards.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific qualifications for advisory board members, ensuring that appointments are made without regard to race, color, disability, sex, religion, age, or national origin. While board members will not receive compensation for their services, they may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred while performing their duties. The amendments aim to enhance the governance and operational efficiency of these advisory boards, ensuring they effectively fulfill their roles in the regulation and oversight of property tax professionals and other related occupations in Texas. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
