Texas Lt. Gov. Announces Second Round of Priority Bills

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick announced the second round of his top 40 priority bills for the ongoing legislative session, highlighting the swift progress made with the passage of 10 bills already. Among the key proposals are increases to the Homestead Exemption and the establishment of a Dementia Prevention and Research Institute. Patrick emphasized a collaborative relationship with Speaker Burrows and expressed optimism that this legislative session could be the most productive for conservatives in Texas history. He reassured constituents that many other important bills would also be considered beyond his top priorities. The session's focus includes critical issues such as border security and disaster relief funding. Overall, Patrick aims to ensure that all priority bills are passed by mid-April.
