SB 524 Would have repealed the 2026 sunset on the veteran-owned business exemption; died in the House

Catalog reconciledDid not pass

89th Legislature, 2025 Regular Session

Expands benefits Would have removed the 2026 sunset on the franchise tax exemption for new veteran-owned businesses.

Passed the Senate and was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee on May 21, 2025, where it died. Tracked because this catalog, like the bill analysis still online, credited it with making the exemption permanent. HB 346 did that instead.
