Austsar – The Legislative Body in Texas opposes the watch. Once May 15 passes, all bills that did not reach the floor of the house died for the session.
On Thursday afternoon, the Conservative Voice members of the Republican Council in the House of Representatives held a press conference expressing their concerns about their room’s lack of progress.
“The hour is knocking and the Republican voters are looking for the Republican majority they elected at the Texas house,” said Tony Tonyhhlet, a state deputy. “In February, I formulated an article I would like to quote because it is still true today.”[House Speaker Dustin] Blows have a chance to connect and hold his critics. “
Priority bills are waiting
In February, the governor of the state, Greg Abbott, put seven emergency elements to address this session:
- Create educational savings accounts (ESAS)
- Reducing property taxes
- Increase the salaries of the teacher
- Expand job training
- Investing in water infrastructure
- Establishing the Cyber Security Command in Texas
- Fix the sponsorship system
On Saturday, Abbott will sign a bill that achieves the first goal to create ESAS. The rest remains on the shelf.
After ESAS, ABBOTT seemed to convert its focus into a sponsorship reform, and called for legislation in Austin on Tuesday and Houston on Wednesday.
“This is a common sense. You are passing this bill – passing this constitutional amendment – life will be lines literal. You fail to pass this, and more people will be killed.” However, the two main pieces of legislation, Joint Resolution in the Senate 1 and Joint Resolution in the Senate 5It was sent to the House of Representatives on March 25 and sat waiting for a committee hearing since then.
“We reach a point where if your bill is not outside the House of Representatives, you are in trouble,” said Dennis Bonin, former House of Representatives Speaker Dennis Bonin. “We are not completely there, next week is the point where it becomes great, and it is very difficult to obtain a draft law to the ruler’s office.”
However, priority legislation, such as the sponsorship repair, can be followed quickly if Abbott has the two -thirds of the two -thirds needed to obtain measures.
Abbott said: “Immediately forward, there are 88 Republicans in the Texas house whom I know will support this proposal.” “To get it [we] It will need 12 democratic people at the Texas home to agree to this, so it is just a matter of obtaining support from 12 democraticism. “
