Bottom line
Bottom line
This version creates the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office within the office of the governor, the Texas advanced nuclear development fund, and three grant programs: project development and supply chain reimbursement, construction reimbursement, and completion bonuses for reactors interconnected with the ERCOT grid. It permits a nuclear permitting coordinator and subjects the office to Sunset review, expiring in 2035. The ratings point both ways. The strongest is -1 Meaningful on Fiscal sustainability of new programs, and confidential grant applications draw -1 Moderate on Public records access and ethics enforcement. Generation capacity, Procurement and contracting integrity, Fraud prevention, Sunset review, Innovation and capital access, and Regulatory streamlining each rate +1 Moderate.
