Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Ban Bill Receives Hearing in House
by Jeramy Kitchen
After a long day of testimony that stretched into the early hours of Friday, several citizen legislative priorities were heard in various committees throughout the Texas Legislature.
One of those priorities is that of House Bill 749 by State Rep. Mayes Middleton (R–Wallisville), which would ban the practice of taxpayer-funded lobbying. It was heard in the House State Affairs Committee among a litany of bills, including several related to religious freedom and penalties for local governments that defund law enforcement.
