Senate Citrus measure moves back to House with changes
The Texas House received a Senate approved citrus bill with amendments. It would authorize a Texas Citrus Commission, fund admin costs with a three cent per box tax, and reduce members from 28 to 27. One fourth of revenue would go to the citrus fund and Weslaco station, a provision critics call unconstitutional. Conference options loom as lawmakers weigh the Senate tweaks.
