Texas Legislature 63rd Session Recaps Ethics and Reforms
The 63rd Texas Legislature met in Austin with a businesslike focus and achieved several reforms. They passed ethics and campaign finance bills, limits on lobbyists, a death penalty measure, and a marijuana possession revision. A veterinary clinic program under Texas A&M and a broader regent selection change for West Texas State University were approved. Abortion parental-consent and alcohol-sale allowances for 18 year olds were enacted, while a mandatory prison sentence proposal for bad drivers was left in limbo and an education bill stalled. The session avoided new taxes thanks to federal funds, prompting cautious optimism amid ongoing public concerns about Sharpstown and Watergate.
