Day one of the First Called Session of the 82nd Legislature
May 31, 2011
Governor Perry has called for a special session of the legislature which starts today. Currently, the budget and healthcare-related concerns are the two issues on the Governor’s call. The legislature can only pass legislation related to issues on the Governor’s call, but the Governor can, and is expected to, add additional issues to the call. We will continue to monitor legislation filed and provide information and action alerts on legislation that we will take a position on. Special sessions are distinct from regular sessions, so the bill numbering starts from scratch (H.B. 1, H.B. 2, etc.) We have a separate set of online reports for those bills that we are tracking for this special session, you can view them here.
