Texas House approves 18 year old rights and seeks school finance overhaul
The Texas House passed a constitutional measure granting 18 to 20 year olds full adult rights and obligations and advanced a sweeping school finance bill based on real estate values that would cut state aid to high property value districts while increasing overall local aid. A separate measure would force pharmacies to post prices for the 100 most prescribed drugs, with penalties for deceptive advertising, but failed to reach a final vote.
