State pension bill clears Senate amid applause and nominations
The Texas Senate approved an 18.5 million increase to state employees pensions as a crowded gallery applauded. Lawmakers also passed a measure granting individuals the right to demand hearings on speed limits around public schools. Gov Dolph Briscoe sent 21 district judge nominations but withheld one name, sparking questions about Brazoria County. The Senate also backed a natural death act authorizing patients or surrogates to direct doctors to avoid prolonging life when no recovery is possible. The Farabee bill passed the Jurisprudence Committee for full Senate consideration.
