HB 36: Relating to the use by a political subdivision of public funds for lobbying and certain other activities.

HB 36 prohibits Texas local governments (cities, counties, and other political subdivisions) from using public funds to hire lobbyists or pay nonprofit associations that hire lobbyists. It specifically bans spending taxpayer money on lobbying activities aimed at influencing state legislation, such as hiring registered lobbyists to advocate before the legislature. However, the bill allows local officials to provide information to lawmakers, testify in person, or appear before committees without registering as lobbyists. Taxpayers can also sue if a local government violates these restrictions and seek recovery of legal fees. This law directly affects how local governments fund legislative advocacy efforts.

HJR 7: Proposing a constitutional amendment specifying the authority of the attorney general to prosecute a criminal offense prescribed by the election laws of this state.

HJR 7 proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify that Texas's Attorney General has concurrent authority with local county or district attorneys to prosecute criminal violations of election laws. This amendment would modify Article IV, Section 22 of the Texas Constitution to explicitly state that the Attorney General shares prosecution jurisdiction for election-related offenses. If approved by voters in the May 2, 2026 election, it would establish a clear legal framework for handling election law violations without creating new offenses or altering existing election laws. The change directly affects the Attorney General's office and local prosecutors in election-related criminal cases.

SCR 58: Instructing the enrolling clerk of the senate to make corrections in S.B. No. 441.

This bill (SCR 58) is a procedural correction to Senate Bill 441. It instructs the Senate's enrolling clerk to remove the phrase "and how to track the status of the request" from Section 6 of S.B. 441, which affects the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. The correction fixes a technical error in the bill's text before final enrollment. It does not change any policy or affect voters or residents.

SCR 57: Instructing the enrolling clerk of the House to make corrections to H.B. No. 46.

This resolution corrects a technical error in House Bill 46 related to low-THC cannabis dosage limits. It directs the House clerk to remove incorrect language that mistakenly allowed doses to "exceed one percent" THC, ensuring the bill properly states that such doses must not exceed 1% THC by weight. The change affects the Occupations Code provisions governing low-THC cannabis prescriptions but does not alter the bill's policy substance. This is a procedural correction to fix a drafting error in the bill's text.

SB 3075: Relating to powers of regional transportation authorities.

SB 3075 allows local units (like cities or counties) within regional transportation authorities to use up to 25% of their annual sales and use tax revenue for "general mobility programs." These programs fund specific infrastructure projects including sidewalks, bike trails, streetlights, traffic signals, and drainage improvements on local roads and pathways. The bill requires units to submit annual project lists to the subregional board and mandates that 50% of funds be available at the start of the fiscal year, with the remaining 50% reimbursed later. Unused funds must be used to reduce the authority's debt secured by a 1% sales tax rate. This bill directly affects local units participating in regional transportation authorities governed by subregional boards under Texas Transportation Code.
