51st Session Ends With Money Measures Advancing
The 51st Texas Legislature moves toward adjournment by July 6 as revenue projections show about 16 million dollars in two years. Comptroller Calvert must review passed bills to certify spending, with a four-fifths vote possible if any certification fails. The House rejected plans for early county revenue, defeated a four-year governor term, and backed a House substitute building finance plan rivaling Bracewell’s Senate amendment. The proposal would fund hospitals and schools, create a Confederate Memorial Building, and allocate general revenue with a $3 million surplus transfer, overseen by a six-member building commission.
