House Bill No. 4751 establishes the Texas Quantum Initiative, 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 a new subchapter in the Government Code, which outlines the initiative's purpose, including the development of a strategic plan for quantum technology, identifying obstacles to its growth, and expanding workforce training related to quantum computing. The initiative will be governed by an executive committee composed of members appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house, 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 support quantum manufacturing and design projects through grants and matching funds. The executive committee is tasked with developing a comprehensive strategic plan, submitting biennial reports to the governor and Legislative Budget Board, and ensuring the initiative's goals are met. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
