The final days of the 89th Legislative session are here, but it's not over yet. There are still opportunities to take action!
There is some cautious optimism regarding some key legislation. Please keep reminding your House representatives that SB 16 would complicate the upcoming statewide elections by forcing local election officials to develop or adopt new procedures at every stage of an election, from registration to list maintenance, to the polling process.
Let’s keep guns out of polling locations! See the updated action alerts for HB 1128 and HB 1794, which are both being heard in the Senate. Another bad gun bill is SB 1362, which could result in the loss of valuable federal grants that support mental health services, violence prevention, and law enforcement across the state—simply because those grants mention Extreme Risk Protective Orders (ERPOs) as one possible use.
There is also still time to take action on HB 1211, which would help former foster children access higher education.
Thank you for your support and dedication during this legislative session. Let's use these last few days of the session to take action toward a better future for Texas!
In League,
