KeepTXRed treats the official legislative record and latest official action as the factual status layer for SB 2312.

Bill → law → agency context
This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.

KeepTXRed summary
SB 2312 creates the Texas Advisory Committee on Geopolitical Conflict to assess how major international conflicts and supply-chain disruptions could affect Texas security, infrastructure, government operations, and essential goods.
What would change
The Texas Geopolitical Conflict Stress Test Act establishes the advisory committee, directs it to study vulnerabilities involving critical infrastructure and supply chains, allows collection of protected information under confidentiality rules, and requires an annual public report with findings and possible policy recommendations that do not compromise state or national security.
Who may be affected
State and local government, critical-infrastructure operators, the Texas National Guard, supply-chain and procurement officials, health and pharmaceutical systems, utilities, businesses that may provide information, and the public.
When it would take effect
SB 2312 took effect September 1, 2025. The appointing officials were directed to appoint committee members in 2025, and the committee is scheduled to be abolished and its chapter expire September 1, 2029.
Limits and uncertainty
The committee is advisory and analytical; it does not itself declare emergencies or direct federal military policy. Sensitive information is subject to statutory confidentiality restrictions, so the public report may omit security-sensitive details.
