ACTION ALERT FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 22, 2025

Remember I told you at the beginning of the special sessions that things mo=
ve very fast in specials? Well, hold on to your hats, because here we go! =
I=E2=80=99m sorry to be sending you action alerts two days in a row, but t=
hat=E2=80=99s just the way the special session ball bounces. So please bea=
r with me.

The Senate completed most of it=E2=80=99s work for 2nd Special in one after=
noon, and now that the House Dems are back, things are on the move there. =
Friday Aug 22, there are FIVE House Committee Hearings. I know that with o=
nly a few hours=E2=80=99 notice, most folks can=E2=80=99t get to Austin to =
testify in person at any of these hearings (including me!). And even if we=
did =E2=80=93 some of them are happing at the same time!

BUT =E2=80=93 we can do the on-line comments on ALL of them! So, I=E2=80=
=99m asking as many people as possible to log into the comment forms and co=
mment on these important bills.

STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE: 8:00 AM Friday, John H Reagan Building Rm 140

=C2=B7 HB7 =E2=80=93 Ban mailing abortion pills into the state. Th=
e House bill is different from the Senate SB7 bill that passed the Senate (=
three times). At some point, the two will have to be reconciled.

=C2=B7 SB8 =E2=80=93 Women=E2=80=99s Private Spaces. This is the =
Senate bill that already passed (three times). If the House passes it, it =
goes to the Governor.

Click here for the on-line comment form for HB7 and SB8

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE: 8:30 AM Friday, John H Reagan Building Rm=
120

=C2=B7 There are a whole series of flood relief & preparedness bill=
s on the schedule for this committee. Click here to see the schedule displ=
ay with all bills listed.

Click here for the on-line comment form for the Disaster Relief bills.

PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE: 9:00 AM Friday, E2.030

=C2=B7 HB25 =E2=80=93 Authorizes pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin=
as an over-the-counter drug. (Gov Abbott has recently added this to the 2=
nd Special, thanks to overwhelming grassroots support for the bill)

Click here for the on-line comment form for HB25

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS: 10 AM or after adjournment, Friday, E2.026

=C2=B7 HB46 =E2=80=93 This is an interesting bill I just discovered=
by Rep. Tepper. It limits local government revenue (and therefore spendin=
g) each year to last year=E2=80=99s revenue plus an inflation rate. I have=
not had time to study it in depth, but anything that limits local governme=
nt spending seems like a good thing to me.

Click here for the on-line comment form for HB46

WAYS AND MEANS: 10 AM or after adjournment, Friday, E2.014

=C2=B7 SB10 =E2=80=93 Adjusts the level where local governments mus=
t have voter approval for a tax increase. This is the Senate bill that has=
already passed (three times), and if passed by the House, will go to the G=
overnor.

Click here for the on-line comment form for SB10

OTHER LEGISLATIVE NEWS:

As mentioned above, the Governor has added three items to the call for the =
2nd special session: Impose penalties on legislators who break quorum (sev=
eral bills filed on this one yesterday); Authorize Ivermectin over the coun=
ter; and A study of East Texas aquifers by the TX Water Development Board p=
rior to issuance of permits. Read the full statement from the Governor her=
e.

ANOTHER REQUEST FOR ACTION

SB12 =E2=80=93 The Senate bill to ban taxpayer funded lobbying, has passed =
the Senate (three times), but has now landed back in State Affairs Committe=
e in the House where it DIED in regular session because Chair Ken King refu=
sed to give it a hearing. =20

We can=E2=80=99t let that happen again! I WANT TO FLOOD KING=E2=80=99S OFF=
ICE WITH PHONE CALLS, MESSAGES, EMAILS AND HAND WRITTEN CARDS! Grassroots =
pressure can work if enough of us take action. Example =E2=80=93 the Iverm=
ectin situation! So, let=E2=80=99s get after it. =20

Home Group leaders =E2=80=93 this would be a good exercise for your groups =
this month. Write post cards to Rep King and demand that he schedules a he=
aring on SB12, and not let it die in his committee. AGAIN! If you live in=
King=E2=80=99s district (HD88), it=E2=80=99s especially important for you =
to contact him as a constituent (you have more influence). For the rest of=
us, contact him as chairman of the State Affairs Committee. =20

If you want to go the extra mile, also contact all members of the Committee=
. Contact details listed below.

LET=E2=80=99S LIGHT EM UP!

I understand that everyone has busy lives, and maybe higher priorities than=
these requests for action, but please do whatever you can. If you can=E2=
=80=99t do all, do some. Every bit helps. You have from now until the hea=
ring ends to complete on-line comments. The hearings that happen early wil=
l probably end by around 10 am tomorrow when the House likely reconvenes. =
The others will probably end after House action later in the afternoon. Bu=
t we never know! So don=E2=80=99t delay =E2=80=93 do it today! (Ha! I ma=
de a rhyme)

If you need help or talking points for your comments, just reply to this em=
ail. I have research and testimony on all of these bills. Happy to help!

Thanks everyone!

Fran Rhodes, President

ACTION ALERT FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 22, 2025

Remember I told you at the beginning of the special sessions that things move very fast in specials? Well, hold on to your hats, because here we go! I’m sorry to be sending you action alerts two days in a row, but that’s just the way the special session ball bounces. So please bear with me.

The Senate completed most of it’s work for 2nd Special in one afternoon, and now that the House Dems are back, things are on the move there. Friday Aug 22, there are FIVE House Committee Hearings. I know that with only a few hours’ notice, most folks can’t get to Austin to testify in person at any of these hearings (including me!). And even if we did – some of them are happing at the same time!

BUT – we can do the on-line comments on ALL of them! So, I’m asking as many people as possible to log into the comment forms and comment on these important bills.

STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE: 8:00 AM Friday, John H Reagan Building Rm 140

· HB7 – Ban mailing abortion pills into the state. The House bill is different from the Senate SB7 bill that passed the Senate (three times). At some point, the two will have to be reconciled.

· SB8 – Women’s Private Spaces. This is the Senate bill that already passed (three times). If the House passes it, it goes to the Governor.

Click here for the on-line comment form for HB7 and SB8

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE: 8:30 AM Friday, John H Reagan Building Rm 120

· There are a whole series of flood relief & preparedness bills on the schedule for this committee. Click here to see the schedule display with all bills listed.

Click here for the on-line comment form for the Disaster Relief bills.

PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE: 9:00 AM Friday, E2.030

· HB25 – Authorizes pharmacists to dispense Ivermectin as an over-the-counter drug. (Gov Abbott has recently added this to the 2nd Special, thanks to overwhelming grassroots support for the bill)

Click here for the on-line comment form for HB25

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS: 10 AM or after adjournment, Friday, E2.026

· HB46 – This is an interesting bill I just discovered by Rep. Tepper. It limits local government revenue (and therefore spending) each year to last year’s revenue plus an inflation rate. I have not had time to study it in depth, but anything that limits local government spending seems like a good thing to me.

Click here for the on-line comment form for HB46

WAYS AND MEANS: 10 AM or after adjournment, Friday, E2.014

· SB10 – Adjusts the level where local governments must have voter approval for a tax increase. This is the Senate bill that has already passed (three times), and if passed by the House, will go to the Governor.

OTHER LEGISLATIVE NEWS:

As mentioned above, the Governor has added three items to the call for the 2nd special session: Impose penalties on legislators who break quorum (several bills filed on this one yesterday); Authorize Ivermectin over the counter; and A study of East Texas aquifers by the TX Water Development Board prior to issuance of permits. Read the full statement from the Governor here.

ANOTHER REQUEST FOR ACTION

SB12 – The Senate bill to ban taxpayer funded lobbying, has passed the Senate (three times), but has now landed back in State Affairs Committee in the House where it DIED in regular session because Chair Ken King refused to give it a hearing.

We can’t let that happen again! I WANT TO FLOOD KING’S OFFICE WITH PHONE CALLS, MESSAGES, EMAILS AND HAND WRITTEN CARDS! Grassroots pressure can work if enough of us take action. Example – the Ivermectin situation! So, let’s get after it.

Home Group leaders – this would be a good exercise for your groups this month. Write post cards to Rep King and demand that he schedules a hearing on SB12, and not let it die in his committee. AGAIN! If you live in King’s district (HD88), it’s especially important for you to contact him as a constituent (you have more influence). For the rest of us, contact him as chairman of the State Affairs Committee.

If you want to go the extra mile, also contact all members of the Committee. Contact details listed below.

LET’S LIGHT EM UP!

I understand that everyone has busy lives, and maybe higher priorities than these requests for action, but please do whatever you can. If you can’t do all, do some. Every bit helps. You have from now until the hearing ends to complete on-line comments. The hearings that happen early will probably end by around 10 am tomorrow when the House likely reconvenes. The others will probably end after House action later in the afternoon. But we never know! So don’t delay – do it today! (Ha! I made a rhyme)

If you need help or talking points for your comments, just reply to this email. I have research and testimony on all of these bills. Happy to help!

Thanks everyone!

Fran Rhodes, President
