This year, Texas needs to reign in property tax increases, attract home insurance providers & continue adding power to the state grid, @GovAbbott told me during a sit-down interview at the capitol. @impactnews has details on his #txlege priorities & more:

Efficient hearing this morning: The Senate Local Government Committee votes 6-0 to send both SB 4 ($40k homestead exemption increase) and SJR 2 (the constitutional amendment) to the full Senate. "Tax relief is on the way," @TeamBettencourt says. #txlege @impactnews

Rep. @EllenTroxclair's HB 515 would require Texas public school students to store cell phones in "a secure location" during the school day. @teainfo Commissioner Mike Morath requested this bill, and some districts already have similar policies: #txlege
Check out one of @EllenTroxclair's top legislative priorities about instituting cell phone free classrooms - HB 515. Thank you Rep. Troxclair for your commitment to creating a healthier and more successful learning environment for all students! #txlege

On the House floor, @brianeharrison asks why the chamber hasn't taken up @GovAbbott's emergency items or moved to "make property tax increases illegal." He says they should do so today. Bills would first have to go through House committees, which haven't been assigned. #txlege

Breaking: With a 19-12 vote, the Texas Senate approves SB 2 and sends it to the House. The proposal by @CreightonForTX would create a $1B education savings account program. Unclear when the House, which has not assigned committees, may consider the bill. #txlege @impactnews
Sen. @CreightonForTX introduces SB 2, his $1B education savings account proposal, in the Texas Senate. This is the first bill to reach the floor of either chamber this session, after @GovAbbott declared ESAs an emergency item Sunday. Buckle up for some lengthy debate. #txlege

Senate adjourns until 6:38 p.m. (for two minutes). Starting a new legislative day means they can vote again on the bill. #txlege
