    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.

    84Th Legislative Session Weekly Recap Week of May 4-8 GOVERNOR

    84th Legislative Session Weekly Recap Week of May 4-8 GOVERNOR: 2015 Best and Worst States – On Friday, Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas has been ranked the #1 best state to do business in by Chief Executive's 2015 Best & Worst States to Do Business survey of top CEOs. 2015 is the 11th year in a row Texas has topped the list. Governor Abbott said, “Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes our business climate. Despite being the number one state to do business for 11 consecutive years, Texas will do even more to empower businesses and increase economic expansion. That's why I'm promoting policies to cut the business franchise tax, further rein in regulatory regimes and elevate our higher education system to bolster our workforce so that Texas keeps creating jobs and opportunity." SENATE: The Senate was in session Monday through Friday this week, but on Friday, they met only for a Local and Uncontested calendar. Until this week, the Senate and House had not taken up many bills from the other chamber. In fact, prior to this week, the Senate had only passed one House bill – HB 1, the appropriations bill. This week, the Senate passed an additional 16 House bills and one House Joint Resolution for a total of 18 House bills passed by the Senate so far this session. Monday’s Senate Intent calendar includes 29 House bills. On Monday, the Senate passed 28 bills including: HB 40 by Drew Darby (R-San Angelo) and Troy Fraser (R-Marble Falls) would establish that the authority of a municipality or other political subdivision to regulate an oil and gas operation is preempted by the state.

I'm gonna take you to your mama, pay day. –Mississippi John Hurt The unregulated industry that gouges working-class Texans with obscene interest rates on small loans again is fighting proposed regulations. Although Texas prohibits usurious interest rates, the industry dodges these protections by organizing as unregulated middlemen. These so-called “credit service organizations” link borrowers to lenders who are subject to interest rate caps. When the unregulated middlemen tack on their exorbitant fees, however, loans secured by paychecks or car titles can carry annual effective interest rates exceeding 1,000 percent. Texas now has more than 3,000 outlets for these lucrative loans, with pawnshops and even rental centers getting into a piece of the action. Fantastic returns are worth defending. Just in the two-year 2010 election cycle the industry contributed $1,369,542 to Texas politicians. If the payday industry lent out this same $1.4 million at 1,000 percent interest over the two-year election cycle, it could have grossed $166 million. That’s how much these lenders care about their loophole. Democratic Senator Wendy Davis has led attempts to regulate the industry. Her Senate Bill 253 would eliminate the loophole for credit service organizations, subjecting them to state usury laws and prohibiting fee-intensive rollovers of these loans. Jay Shipowitz, president of Irving-based Ace Cash Express, recently testified that, “If this bill is passed, we will be forced to shut our stores in Texas.”1 Five other lawmakers, including former Speaker Tom Craddick, have introduced similar reform bills.2 Republican Rep.

Jones, Ph.D. “Ideology and Partisanship in the 87th (2021) Regular Session of the Texas Legislature” https://doi.org/10.25613/HP57-BF70 Ideology and Partisanship in the 87th (2021) Regular Session of the Texas Legislature Executive Summary This report utilizes roll call vote data to improve our understanding of the ideological and partisan dynamics of the Texas Legislature’s 87th regular session. 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.
