Texas Legislature Adjourns on May 31st
With twelve days left in session, House and Senate conferees have not issued a conference report resolving their differences on House Bill 1927 for their respective legislative chambers to take a final vote on. This is the time when massive horsetrading is taking place and bills like HB 1927 become leverage to break logjams on other unrelated legislation. Now more than ever, you need to make your voices heard so that HB 1927 doesn't get left behind!
The message to ALL state lawmakers on HB 1927 needs to be this: Coming close doesn't count. Pass HB 1927 INTO LAW this session.
Contact Governor Greg Abbott, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dade Phelan with that message.
