Legislative Updates for March 2, 2023
It was a busy week in the Lege! Speaker Phelan has announced two rounds of priorities for this session. He has four priorities and they are a little different than the Gov and Lt. Gov's lists of important items. This may be a signal of some interesting times ahead. The bill authors for the priority legislation are a mix of both Republicans and Democrats. Included in the Speaker's priorities are improving the privacy and security of all Texans, better supporting mothers and children in the state, defending the state's economic growth over the past two years, and creating an opportunity for even more development as the population continues to expand at a rapid pace.
