H.B. No. 132 proposes the repeal of the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office as outlined in Chapter 483 of the Government Code, which was established by H.B. 14 during the 89th Legislature and is set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The bill mandates that any funds appropriated to this office be redirected to the Texas Education Agency for the state fiscal biennium beginning on the same date, with the aim of minimizing the state compression percentage under Section 48.255 of the Education Code.
The bill stipulates that it will take effect immediately if it secures a two-thirds majority vote from all elected members in both houses of the legislature. If it does not achieve this majority, the bill will come into effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
