The 86th Texas Legislative Session officially begins on January 8, 2019. Hundreds of bills have already been filed.
Here are links to the bills filed and a few, in a particular, that may be interesting to follow:
- Establishment of procedure whereby certain persons can register to vote over the internet (SB 178)
- Relating to the expression of breast milk in the Capitol and other public buildings (SB 45)
- Increasing criminal penalties for the offense of making a firearm accessible to a child (SB 204)
- Establishment of digital driver’s licenses and personal identification (HB 181)
- Imposition of a civil fine for possessing one ounce or less of marijuana (HB 63)
- Provision of temporary weapon storage when entering certain public buildings (HB 143)
And if it’s not enough to make you scream, whether to abolish daylight saving time remains a popular issue (SB 190; HB 49).
Please note that these are not laws. These are proposed laws. The Texas Legislature allows you to track bills through the legislative process on their website.
