AI Summary

  • Creates a new "priority project" classification for eligible projects where applicants commit to investing at least $750 million by the end of the first tax year of the incentive period

  • Exempts priority projects and electric generation facilities from job creation requirements under the Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology, and Innovation Act

  • Requires the comptroller to notify affected school districts when applications for tax incentive agreements are received

  • Removes the competitive site selection requirement for electric generation facilities, meaning these projects no longer need to demonstrate the incentive was necessary for choosing Texas over other locations

  • Changes wage requirements for incentive agreements from 110% of industry sector average to 110% of county average manufacturing wages, and bases calculations on "required jobs" rather than total jobs
