  • Senator Birdwell's Capitol Update
    Senator Birdwell’s Capitol Update (4-25-17) Greetings from your Texas Capitol! The clock is ticking, and with only 35 days left in the regular legislative session, this is life-or-death time for many of the bills filed by the 181 members of the Texas legislature. I’m pleased to report that 17 of my original bills have already passed the in the Senate—18 by the time this will hit your inbox—as have dozens of other good measures that I have jointly authored with individual colleagues. As always, however, we’re aiming for quality—not quantity. Let me update you on a few of these issues below. SB 975 Heads to the House On Monday the Senate passed one of my key bills—Senate Bill 975—and sent it to the House, where it will be sponsored by State Representative Leighton Schubert (R-Brenham). Recently, there has been much legislative debate regarding the future of private high-speed rail in Texas. Longtime followers of our Capitol Updates, press releases or social media channels know my personal views on this subject; specifically regarding the impact the proposed Dallas-to-Houston high-speed rail would have on a large swath of the constituents I represent in Ellis and Navarro Counties. With that said, if at some point the free market becomes conducive to a high-speed rail project, regardless of potential disagreements on its use as a realistic solution to the transportation needs of our state, most Texans would agree that ensuring public safety during the operation of that rail system is of the utmost importance.

    RQ-0358-KP FILE# ML-48812-20 I.D.# 48112 June 19, 2020 The Honorable Ken Paxton Texas Attorney General Attn: Opinions Committee PO Box 12548 Austin, Texas 78711 Re: Ownership of the Star of the Republic Museum Dear General Paxton: The Blinn College District (“Blinn”) and the Texas Historical Commission (“THC”) propose to enter into an Interagency Cooperation Contract regarding the Star of the Republic Museum (the “Museum”), a draft of which is attached to this opinion request. In 2019, the 86th Legislature adopted Senate Bill 2309 which provides that the Museum and its contents are under the jurisdiction of the THC and that the THC is responsible for the preservation, maintenance, and operation of the Museum.1 Further, Senate Bill 2309 provided that Blinn maintains ownership of the Museum, the land on which the Museum is located, and the artifacts in the Museum (collectively, the “Museum Real and Personal Property”).2 Additionally, the 86th Legislature adopted House Bill 1422 which added the Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site (the “Historic Site”) to the list of historic sites and parks under the THC’s jurisdiction.3 The Museum is located on the Historic Site. As reflected in the attached draft Interagency Cooperation Contract, Blinn now proposes to donate, convey and transfer the Museum Real and Personal Property to THC pursuant to Section 272.001(l) of the Texas Local Government Code. Therefore, I respectfully request your opinion on the following question: Does the codification of Blinn’s ownership of Museum Real and Personal Property under Texas Government Code, Section 442.062(b) require that Blinn maintain ownership of the Museum Real and Personal Property, or may Blinn donate, convey and transfer the Museum Real and Personal Property to THC in accordance with Section 272.001 (l) of the Texas Local Government Code? 1 See TEX.
