Legislative Status Report: The Countdown Begins
The deadline for bill filing passed on March 14. This session will cover the volume of bills filed, which bills need the most attention, the workload of the key committees with the largest number and most important city-related bills, and how an issue can still appear, even though no bill was filed.
April 15, 2011 — 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Legislative Status Report: The End Is Near…but Not Near Enough
With the work of House and Senate committees increasing, city-related bills are being heard every day. While the TML staff is working feverishly to monitor all the hearings, city officials can take an active role in the process. Learn what you can do to help.
May 13, 2011 — 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Legislative Status Report: The Final Days from the Bunker
In the final weeks of the legislative session, last-minute tactics to keep bills alive are used by everyone. While deadlines have passed, those deadlines mean little to those who still want to advance their issues. Find out what to expect in the final days and why city officials cannot assume a bill is dead.
Please note that these events are intended for TML member city officials only.
Join us for these hour-long, up-to-the-minute updates on the 82nd Texas Legislative Session and issues most important to Texas cities. There will be an opportunity for limited questions and answers at the conclusion of the presentations.
These Webinars will be conducted by TML legislative and legal staff.
