The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: A big deadline for the Texas House passed this morning and as usual, many good bills died because leadership waited until the very end of the session to get to work hearing and voting on bills. I review key items that failed and passed including:
- Texas bill allowing colleges to pay athletes OK’d in Senate
- Automatic Denial of Bail for Certain Violent Crimes Narrowly Fails in Texas House – absences give Dems a big win that will cost lives
- Bill that holds local governments accountable to follow state law allowed to time-out in the House
- “The People’s Veto” Approved by Texas Legislature
- Texas lawmakers say state documents must list biological sex (the only kind of “sex” there is!) Senate Passes Women’s Bill of Rights
- “Anti-Red Flag Act” advances in House
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
