Next Legislature Faces Turbulent Opening in Texas
The Forty-fourth Texas Legislature foresees a busy four month session with 50 plus constitutional amendments in play and 1,200 to 1,500 bills anticipated. Expected measures include a utility commission, oil and gas commission, broad tax changes, pensions, lobbying limits, government reorganization, district redistricting, school funding per attendance, and repeals of the ad valorem tax and Court of Civil Appeals. Many lawmakers anticipate a lively and perhaps turbulent session with some bills likely to be stalled.
