Commending Bat Conservation International for its contributions.

HR 1422 is a symbolic resolution passed by the Texas House of Representatives commending Bat Conservation International (BCI) for its 40+ years of work protecting bat species in Texas and globally. It highlights BCI's key contributions, including habitat restoration (like securing Bracken Cave Preserve for 20 million bats), combating white-nose syndrome, and promoting bat conservation that supports agriculture by saving producers hundreds of millions annually through natural pest control. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes BCI's role in preserving ecosystems and public education in Texas.
