Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1404	Senate Author:  Parker et al.
Effective:  Vetoed	House Sponsor:  Smithee et al.

            Senate Bill 1404 creates the coal to nuclear conversion work group to study the benefits of converting sites in Texas with coal fired electric generating facilities to use nuclear electric generating facilities instead and to develop a model plan for implementing coal to nuclear conversion to provide affordable and sustainable power in Texas. The bill's provisions expire and the work group is abolished June 30, 2025.

Governor's Reason for Veto: "While Senate Bill No. 1404 is important, it is simply not as important as cutting property taxes. At this time, the legislature must concentrate on delivering property tax cuts to Texans. This bill can be reconsidered at a future special session only after property tax relief is passed."
