There are two bills that need your immediate attention in the Texas Legislature!
The Republican Party of Texas OPPOSES HB 755 by Representative David Spiller
It merely regulates taxpayer-funded lobbying but does not eradicate it! All taxpayer-funded lobbying is wrong, no matter who is approving the process.
📢This bill is currently pending in the House State Affairs Committee. Please contact the members of this committee and tell them to vote NO on HB 755!
The Republican Party of Texas SUPPORTS HB 5019 by Representative Giovanni Capriglione
HB 5019 restricts school districts from contracting with professional groups involved in political activities and prohibits payroll deductions for non-governmental association dues.
📢This bill is currently pending in the House Public Education Committee. Please contact the members of this committee and tell them to vote YES on HB 5019!
To find the current status of a bill, visit Texas Legislature Online and enter the bill number. Look under ‘Bill Stages’ for the status:
Waiting for a committee hearing - Contact the committee chair or members of the committee to get a hearing for a priority bill. (Once assigned to a committee a bill must have a hearing in order to remain viable.)
Left pending in committee - Contact the committee chair and members of the committee for a bill that has had a hearing but left pending. It needs to be voted out of committee. (To remain viable a bill must be voted out of the committee into the Calendars Committee.)
