House of Representatives adopts rule change in Texas
The Texas House approves a new rules package under Speaker Ben Barnes that would allow him to name all 25 permanent committees and limit future speakers to filling vacancies. The plan aims to create a more permanent legislature with annual sessions and higher salaries, while raising the potential for extended committee power and witch-hunt style investigations in future years.
