HB 5500 modifies the Texas Commission on the Arts' composition and grant distribution procedures. It ensures at least two commission members reside in counties with populations under 50,000 and removes language requiring racial and ethnic representation. The bill also mandates that grant distributions reflect Texas' geographical diversity and emphasizes supporting living Texas artists.
