Hartung Presses Money Management Bill for Session Agenda
Austin Solon and House Speaker Bill Clayton back HB 1984 to revive the state money management bill on the special session agenda starting July 11. The measure would require the Treasury and Depository Board to invest more state money in interest bearing deposits and expand authority to invest in savings and loan accounts and government securities. Hartung claims Texas loses about 2 million dollars monthly in non interest bearing checking accounts and says the savings could fund public schools. Briscoe has signaled only public school finance will be on the agenda, with other items under consideration.
