Commission notes limited-scope sunset review under House Bill 1545 and forms one-year work group
Summary
The commission reported it will undergo a limited-scope sunset under House Bill 1545 focusing on sections 691 and 692a of the Health and Safety Code with a self-evaluation due Sept. 1, 2025, and formed a one-year work group with Vice chair Skopanski and Commissioner Brown volunteering.
The Texas Funeral Service Commission said it will undergo a limited-scope sunset review under House Bill 1545 of the 89th Legislature that will focus on sections 691 and 692a of the Texas Health and Safety Code. The commission attended a related meeting and must submit a self-evaluation report by Sept. 1, 2025; the speaker said commissioners will be kept apprised during the sunset process.
Separately, the commission described agenda item 4 as creating a one-year work group to address various items. The chair said they would participate and named Vice chair Skopanski and Commissioner Brown as the two volunteers who will serve on the work group.
The transcript does not include additional details on the specific items the work group will address or the internal timeline beyond the one-year commitment described by the chair. The commission also announced it would convene closed sessions under the Texas Open Meetings Act to discuss litigation and receive legal advice earlier in the meeting and twice during the agenda; in each case the chair later reported no action was taken in closed session when the body reconvened in open session.
