Here’s the latest on 4 emergency items that Texas legislators can approve right now

Published on February 6, 2017 under CommunityImpact

On Jan. 31, Gov. Greg Abbott announced his four emergency items that will be taken up immediately by the Senate and eventually the House. These four items—reforming Child Protective Services, eliminating sanctuary cities, ethics reform and calling a convention of states—can exclusively get passed into law before March 10, or the 60-day mark into this legislative session. Every other bill proposal must wait at least two months into session before any final action can occur. Read up on the four issues below. We will keep the guide updated as each progresses in the House and Senate.
