House Bill 2312 amends the Agriculture Code to rename the Texas Beef Council as the Beef Promotion and Research Council of Texas and revise the council's composition, to authorize the council to establish and operate a state beef check off program that is separate from the beef check off program established by federal law, and to require the council to administer the state beef check off program if the council establishes such a state program. The bill removes a provision designating the council as the state beef council qualified to collect the proceeds of and administer in Texas the beef check off program established by federal law, but authorizes the council to contract or enter into agreements with such a qualified entity.
