H.B. No. 4751 establishes the Texas Quantum Initiative, a program aimed at positioning Texas as a national leader in the quantum industry and facilitating the integration of quantum technologies into the state's economy. The bill introduces Subchapter HH to Chapter 481 of the Government Code, which outlines the initiative's purpose, including leveraging expertise from regulatory stakeholders and institutions of higher education, identifying obstacles to quantum economic opportunities, and providing strategic leadership for workforce training and development in quantum technology. The initiative will be supported by an advisory committee composed of six members appointed by the governor, with a focus on individuals from the quantum design and manufacturing sectors.

Additionally, the bill creates the Quantum University and Business Innovation for Texas Fund, which will be used to award grants for quantum manufacturing and design projects, as well as cover staffing costs associated with the initiative. The governor is required to make initial appointments to the advisory committee by January 1, 2026, and the act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The bill also includes provisions regarding the implementation of mandatory duties by state agencies, contingent upon specific appropriations for those duties.
