SB: Watch the Sunset

After the House acted quickly to save an Abbott priority, this should be on your radar; it seemed to catch folks by surprise as Patrick’s legislative weapon of choice two years ago

As the Texas Senate goes through hundreds of bills this afternoon and presumably into the late evening, one of the questions being asked by staffers, lobbyists, and others revolves around whether the upper chamber today will put a bow on the Sunset process regardless of whether any agencies see their individual legislation fail.

The Sunset “safety net” language, Quorum Report readers will recall, was what Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick used to force the special session in 2017.

Voters may not remember that much about it, especially after the arrival of Hurricane Harvey took precedent over the petty.
