Rep. Stan Lambert introduced HB 2931, a bill on Taxation, to the Texas House on Wednesday, March 19 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to an exception to the renewal requirement for agricultural and timber tax exemption registration numbers issued to or held by persons who are at least 65 years of age’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

This bill amends the Texas Tax Code to create an exception for agricultural and timber tax exemption registration numbers held by individuals aged 65 or older, stating that these registration numbers will not expire and do not require renewal. Registration numbers that expired before the effective date and were not renewed are not covered by this exception. The bill's provisions will not affect any tax liability that accrues before its effective date, and existing laws will continue to apply to the collection and enforcement of those taxes. The effective date of the Act is Jan. 1, 2026.

Stan Lambert, chair of the House Committee on Pensions, Investments & Financial Services and member of the House Committee on Higher Education, proposed one other bill during the 89(R) legislative session.

Lambert graduated from Abilene Christian University in 1975 with a BS.

Stan Lambert is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 71st House district. He replaced previous state representative Susan King in 2017.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
