Governor Greg Abbott has expanded the agenda for the Texas Legislature’s second special session to address three new issues. In a message to lawmakers, Abbott outlined his priorities for the session.
“Today I am expanding the agenda for the second special session to include important issues that will benefit Texas,” said Governor Abbott. “First, we need to ensure that rogue lawmakers cannot hijack the important business of Texans during a legislative session by fleeing the state. Additionally, Texans should have increased access to the benefits of Ivermectin. Finally, we need to ensure appropriate studies are conducted to protect the health of East Texas aquifers.”
The additional items on the agenda include legislation aimed at penalizing legislators who intentionally leave during a session, measures allowing individuals to purchase Ivermectin at pharmacies, and proposals for a groundwater study in East Texas by the Texas Water Development Board before certain permits or amendments are issued by groundwater conservation districts.
