One week out from special session lawmakers file bills on abortion, Ivermectin, property taxes, and more

Taxpayer funded lobbying in the crosshairs while major legislation on THC and disaster response have yet to emerge

Nearly 100 bills spread across a range of issues were filed today ahead of the special session beginning July 21, including hot button items on Gov. Greg Abbott’s call: Property taxes, banning access to abortion medication and banning taxpayer funded lobbying were among the issues most popular among Republicans.

Local and Consent Calendars Chair Jared Patterson and Reps. Nate Schatzline, Bricoe Cain, Steve Toth and Ellen Troxclair filed similar bills targeting the abortion medication access.
