  • 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.

My name is Georgia Keysor. I have taken the time to address this committee because I believe redistricting is an integral function of our democracy. When redistricting is used by incumbents to artificially preserve their majority, our democracy suffers. 1 The current system of closed door back room deal‐cutting partisan gerrymandering has resulted in politicians supporting policies that the vast majority of their constituents oppose, or opposing policies that the vast majority their constituents support. Case in Point? The wildly popular COVID Relief Bill. We know something like 90% of Americans support expanded background checks for gun purchases. We also know that because the gerrymandered majority GOP is owned lock, stock and barrel by the Russian funded NRA, the will of the people goes ignored. The majority of Americans support the LGBT community, a women’s right to control her own body and her destiny and the decriminalization of cannabis.

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.

  • 2021 Nursing Legislative Agenda
    Legislative agenda Registered Nurses 250,000 in Texas Need your support issues FUNDING WOKRPLACE SAFETY PAYMENT PARITY EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SCHOOL NURSES EDUCATION OUR Priorities ADVANCED PRACTICE REGISTERED NURSES NLAC recommends increasing access to care for Texans by removing needless barriers to practice for APRNs, such as delegation agreements, where APRNs often pay a physician the equivalent of an extra mortgage payment. In addition, APRNs cannot sign certain documents, including death certificates and vaccine exemptions. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, these administrative burdens provide no added value, increase costs and restrict access to care. HB 2029 by Rep. Stephanie Klick, SB 915 by Sen. Kelly Hancock — Grants full prac- tice authority to all four APRN roles HB 1524 by Rep. Eddie Lucio — Allows APRNs and PAs to prescribe schedule IIs under any circumstance and repeal the current carveout for hospital facility-based practices and hospice care HB 982 by Rep. Donna Howard and Rep. Drew Darby — Creates an expedited licensure process for APRNs who are licensed out of state NURSE EDUCATION According to a 2020 report from the Center for Nursing Workforce Studies, Texas will need nearly 60,000 more registered nurses by 2032. The Nursing Shortage Reduction Program (NSRP) provides incentive funding to institutions that increase nursing graduates. The Nursing Faculty Loan Repayment Program (NFLRP) provides an incentive for nurses to accept faculty positions in nursing schools. Both of these programs have a proven track record of increasing the number of nurses in the state, combating the nursing shortage. NLAC recommends increasing funding for programs that address the nursing shortage.

  • TIPRO Election Results and Analysis As the 2020 Election Cycle
    TIPRO Election Results and Analysis As the 2020 election cycle concludes and all votes are counted, we can all agree that this one will long not be forgotten. The pandemic, economic crisis and a renewed struggle for racial justice aside, more tangible factors like record fundraising totals and banner turnout numbers have created new swing districts and have had a significant impact on many hotly contested races across the state. This is also the first cycle in Texas that voters aren’t able to push a button for straight ticket voting. For the first time in almost two decades, it was anticipated that a Democratic candidate could win a statewide election in Texas, and the Texas House, controlled by Republicans since 2002, could see a Democratic takeover. It’s important to note that Republicans have not had a net gain in the House since 2014 – Democrats have picked up 15 seats since then. Texas is truly becoming a battleground state. A few highlights: TURNOUT During the extended early voting period from October 13 – 30, almost a full three weeks of Early Vote for the first time in history, 57.03 percent of registered voters cast ballots either through in- person early voting or through mail-in ballots. The overall number of early voters – 9,669,246 – broke the previous record of almost nine million (8,934,718) in the 2016 Texas General Election. That number is expected to rise as mail-in ballots continue to be delivered to elections offices, so long as they’re postmarked by November 3. One driver of increased turnout was the high numbers of voters in the state’s most populous counties, such as Harris County, where more than 1.4 million people have already voted, compared to 1.34 million TOTAL votes in the last presidential election in 2016.
