BOX 12068 EDUCATION AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711-2068 FINANCE (512) 463-0107 HIGHER EDUCATION FAX: (512) 463-8810 SENATOR PAUL BETTENCOURT DISTRICT 7 Dear Friends and Neighbors, It is my privilege to represent you in the Texas Senate. The interim since the 84th Texas Legislature adjourned last session has been busy, as the Lieutenant Governor assigned the Senate nearly 100 interim public policy charges to study prior to the upcoming session. One of them was, of course, property tax reform and relief. I wanted to update you on what we accomplished in the last session as well as during the interim, and give you an overview of some of the priorities we will be addressing in the upcoming session. During my first legislative session in 2014, I served as chief Senate sponsor on 25 bills which gained legislative approval, earning me the distinction of “Freshman of the Year” by Capitol Inside. This legislation included passage of the Andrea Sloan “Right to Try” bill, allowing terminally ill Texas patients access to drugs still in the FDA’s approval pipeline. In fact, Houston physician Ebrahim S. Delpassand stated before the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that he is using the state’s “Right to Try” Act to successfully treat about 80 patients. I also added an amendment to SB 1760 requiring a 60% supermajority within a taxing jurisdiction to increase property taxes over the effective rate.
