H.B. No. 181 proposes the repeal of the Texas Quantum Initiative, specifically targeting Subchapter HH of Chapter 481 in the Government Code, effective September 1, 2025. This legislative action aims to eliminate the existing framework and funding associated with the initiative.
Additionally, the bill redirects any funds that were previously appropriated to the Texas Quantum Initiative to the Texas Education Agency. This reallocation is intended to help reduce the state compression percentage under Section 48.255 of the Education Code to the lowest possible percentage for the state fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2025. The bill is set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
