Rep. Oscar Longoria introduced HB 2636 to the Texas House on Tuesday, March 18 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 designating October 6 as Hispanic Registered Dietician Day’’.

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

This bill designates October 6 as Hispanic Registered Dietician Day to raise awareness that less than 6% of registered dieticians in the United States are Hispanic. The day is intended to be regularly observed through appropriate ceremonies and activities to highlight and address this underrepresentation. The act takes effect Sept. 1, 2025.

Oscar Longoria, chair of the House Committee on S/C on Workforce, member of the House Committee on Trade, Workforce & Economic Development, and vice chair of the House Committee on S/C on International Relations, proposed no more bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Longoria graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2003 with a BS and again in 2007 from University of Texas School of Law with a JD.

Oscar Longoria is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 35th House district. He replaced previous state representative Jose Aliseda in 2013.

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.
