  • 87Th LEGISLATIVE SESSION and COVID RESTRICTIONS On
    87th LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND COVID RESTRICTIONS On January 12, 2021, lawmakers from across the state will convene the 87th Texas Legislative Session, meeting for the Regular Session over the following 140 days through May 31. This will be the first time that all 181 legislators will come together since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the virus is top-of-mind for everyone involved. While the Governor recently announced the re-opening of the Capitol building on January 4, we have minimal knowledge of the health and safety protocols the members, staff and Capitol visitors will have to follow when they enter the building next week. It will surely be a much different environment than previous sessions. We know the following requirements will be in place as of today, per a memo released by the State Preservation Board last week: • The Capitol building will only be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; it will be closed Saturday and Sunday for cleaning. • The public may only enter through the North Capitol entrance. • Covid testing will be encouraged and provided on the North Plaza at no expense. • A mask will be required to be worn inside the building at all times. • All deliveries to the Capitol, including food and beverage, must be left at the loading dock; no delivery personnel will be allowed beyond the loading dock or through the public entrance. • No public tours or groups or sponsored event space will be available. • The House and Senate will manage public access to their offices once convened and rules are adopted, and the public will need to check with the offices directly for specific guidelines.

  • August 1, 2019 Texas Windstorm Insurance
    August 1, 2019 Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, Board of Directors c/o John Polak, General Manager P.O. Box 99090 Austin, Texas 78709 Dear TWIA Board of Directors: We, the undersigned coastal members of the 86th Texas Legislature, respectfully request the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) board to postpone or reject consideration of any proposed rate increase on residential and commercial policyholders for the reasons outlined below. In early October, 2018, prior to the 86th Legislature convening, Governor Greg Abbott utilized his executive power in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey to protect coastal homeowners and business owners from any unnecessary barrier that would impede recovery efforts post-disaster. He wrote a letter to the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) Commissioner, Kent Sullivan, directing him to "delay any decision to approve or disapprove the proposed rate increase, and any deemed approval of the proposed rate increase, until the Legislature has had a full opportunity to address the matter." The Governor's order to suspend windstorm rates remained in effect until June 16, 2019. On May 24, 2019, the TWIA Board of Directors voted unanimously to withdraw the Association's annual rate filing made in August 2018. The Governor also emphasized the statutory timeframe within which the TWIA board and Commissioner of Insurance were required to consider rate adequacy: "strict compliance with this time frame would deprive the Legislature of the opportunity to address any actuarial deficiency in TWIA during the upcoming legislative session…". The 86th Legislature followed suit by passing significant legislation, Senate Bill 615 and House Bill 1900, addressing rate adequacy transparency and requiring two interim legislative committees, appointed by state leadership, to thoroughly inspect and review the current funding structure.

  • April 29, 2020 the Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box
    April 29, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Delivered via Email Dear Governor Abbott: Long-term care facilities like nursing homes, state supported living centers, and group homes are now the epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic. While media outlets have rightly focused on the deaths in nursing homes across the country, people with disabilities and older adults face increased risks in all institutional and congregate settings. Like nursing homes, there have been similar outbreaks and deaths in our state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes. Our state government can and must do more to protect our most vulnerable Texans. That is why we respectfully request the following critical measures to defend our elderly Texans, Texans with disabilities, and the Texans on the frontline serving these communities. • Immediate additional funding through an emergency Texas Medicaid rate increase for long-term and intermediate care facilities to help cover increased costs for direct-care staff wages and personal protective equipment (PPE); • Greater transparency in the reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases in nursing home facilities, state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes; • Mandatory available COVID-19 testing for every employee and resident of a nursing home facility, state supported living centers, state hospitals, or group home in Texas. Thank you for your consideration of our request, and ensuring Texas protects our most vulnerable. Please do not hesitate

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.
