Every odd-numbered year, state lawmakers convene in Austin and debate hundreds of proposed bills with potential to affect tens of millions of Texans who call the Lone Star State home. More than 750 new laws take effect Friday. That’s on top of 321 passed this year that took effect immediately after being signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, along with another 30 taking effect in 2024.
The Texas Newsroom and partner stations across the state break down some of the key items.
“Texas Republican officials have long argued about the need to strengthen the integrity of elections, but many have grown skeptical about ERIC’s ability to do this. They argue that ERIC’s requirement that members identify eligible but unregistered voters and encourage them to register is an improper use of tax dollars.”
LMFAO, what the hell is wrong with these people. How can you just wake up every day and hate your neighbours that much by default
Republicans benefit from low voter turnout. Encouraging new voters to register is contrary to their interests.
