A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the management-to-staff ratio requirement for state

agencies.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Section 651.004(c), Government Code, is amended

to read as follows:

(c) A state agency [
in the executive branch of state

government that employs more than 100 full-time equivalent

employees
] may not employ more than one full-time equivalent

employee in a management position for every 11 full-time equivalent

employees that the agency employs in nonmanagerial staff positions.

Each state agency shall develop procedures to reduce the number of

full-time equivalent employees in management positions with the

goal of employing the fewest number of employees in management

positions necessary to perform the agency's functions. This

subsection does not prohibit a state agency with fewer than 11

full-time equivalent employees from employing one full-time

equivalent employee in a management position.

SECTION 2. Section 651.004(a), Government Code, is

repealed.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
