The bill establishes the Legislative Youth Advisory Council as an advisory body within the legislative branch of Texas government. It outlines the council's structure, which includes one member from the House of Representatives, one from the Senate, and 31 youth members. The bill specifies the qualifications for youth members, including age requirements and educational status, and details the application and appointment process for these members. Additionally, it mandates that the council meet at the call of the legislative members and allows for remote meetings, ensuring that youth members are not required to attend during school hours.

The council is tasked with studying issues pertinent to youth, advising the legislature on these matters, and submitting a report every odd-numbered year detailing its activities and legislative recommendations. The bill also includes provisions for the removal of youth members, filling vacancies, and the creation of subcommittees to address specific topics. The council members will serve without compensation, and legislative staff may provide administrative support. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
