SR 85 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, S.B. No. 5.

Senate Resolution 85 suspends specific Senate rules to allow a conference committee to amend S.B. 5 (a supplemental appropriations bill for disaster relief). It permits adding $2.59 million in contingent funding for campground and youth camp safety under the Department of State Health Services, contingent on S.B. 1 passing, and changes S.B. 5's effective date to immediate. This procedural resolution enables finalizing S.B. 5's language without altering its core purpose.
