2019 Bills For The Texas Legislature Session

Bob Daemmrich for the Texas TribuneThe red-light bill was embraced by both small-government Republicans and by many liberal Democrats. San Angelo-area resident Greg Mauz, a traffic safety researcher and a volunteer activist with the Best Highway Safety Practices Institute, said the red light cameras were used more a a revenue generator than anything else.Mauz, a longtime foe of the devices, called arguments suggesting cameras made highways more safe 'absolute malarky.' Beer to goThe growing Texas craft brewing industry scored something of an unlikely victory when dead-in-the-water legislation allowing the small brewers to sell their products retail-style from the brewery hitched a ride on a piece of related legislation.State Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, the Austin Democrat pushing beer to go, said lobbyists for the big breweries had bottled up his bill so he found an end-around.

During the floor debate on the legislation to keep the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission in operation, he offered up beer to go as an amendment.The House and Senate versions of the bill keep beer to go. But a few differences remained in some of the other particulars at press time, meaning it has a step or two to go before landing on Gov. Greg Abbott's desk. Burn pit registry for ailing veteransTexas service members who returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan with debilitating illnesses would be able to access a state-run registry to get help and information.House Bill 306, signed into law Saturday and taking effect Sept. 1, would not offer direct benefits. But the registry would allow vets or their survivors to be contacted in the event the Department of Veterans Affairs recognized that exposure to the pits that burned 24/7 were responsible for their illnesses. Rachel Denny Clow/Caller-Times“Veterans who bravely fought for our country, only to develop debilitating illnesses when they returned home, deserve answers and proper medical treatment,” said Rep.

Abel Herrero, D-Robstown.He worked closely with constituents LeRoy and Rosie Torres. LeRoy had been captain in the Army Reserves and a trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety until his health had deteriorated after serving in Iraq during 2007 and 2008 where he was exposed to burn pits around the clock. Medical marijuanaThe medical use of cannabis is nearing the legislative finish line.

House Bill 3703 by Fort Worth Republican Stephanie Klick would allow the use of it to treat medical conditions including all epilepsy and seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis, spasticity, terminal cancer, and incurable neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, autism, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease.Legislation to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana is considered dead. The rape kit backlogA measure aimed at eliminating the backlog of some 15,000 rape kits in Texas awaits Abbott's signature. House Bill 8 by Rep. Victoria Neave, D-Dallas, is named for Lavinia Masters, who was raped at age 13 but her rape kit went untested for 20 years. One veto, so farAbbott on Wednesday took the somewhat rare step of vetoing a bill while lawmakers are still in session. The measure in question, House Bill 1476, a hyper-local bill affecting game rooms in the Waco area, wasn't controversial. Abbott said it wasn't even necessary.

Moritz/USA Today NetworkBecause so much legislation remains bottled up until the end of session, most gubernatorial vetoes tend to come after lawmakers have returned to their homes. That makes veto overrides rare.

Extremely rare.In fact, according to the Legislative Research Library at the Capitol, the more recent veto override in Texas came 40 years ago, having to do with some long-forgotten legislation affecting hunting and fishing in Comal County.John C. Moritz covers Texas government and politics for the USA Today Network in Austin.
