H.R. No. 1514 is a resolution passed by the Texas House of Representatives during the 89th Legislature, Regular Session in 2025. The resolution seeks to suspend part of House Rule 13, Section 9(a) to allow a conference committee to address specific matters related to House Bill 40, which pertains to the establishment of a business court. The resolution permits the committee to add provisions that enable civil actions initiated before September 1, 2024, to be transferred to the business court, provided there is mutual agreement from the involved parties and permission from the business court itself. This is aimed at improving the handling of complex civil cases that may be challenging for district courts due to their existing caseloads.

Additionally, the resolution includes nonamendatory transition language to clarify that the changes in law introduced by the bill will only apply to civil actions commenced on or after September 1, 2024, except for those actions that are transferred to the business court under the newly proposed Section 25A.021 of the Government Code. This provision is set to expire on September 1, 2035, ensuring that the business court can effectively manage its caseload while facilitating the fair administration of justice. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 108 in favor, 24 against, with 2 members present but not voting.
