88th Legislative Session

Texans for Fiscal Responsibility has issued the following vote notice for March 15, 2023

(Day 65 of the 88th Legislative Session):

Texas Senate


Subject: Supplemental Appropriations Act, Senate Bill 30 (SB30)

  • Author: State Sen. Joan Huffman (R-Houston)
  • TFR Position: Oppose
  • Background: Violates principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility as it seeks to expand government with $5 billion in general revenue and $11.9 billion in all funds. This includes increasing the salaries of government bureaucrats among other one-time and ongoing expenditures the Legislature chose not to prioritize in the general appropriations act for FY2022-23, ensuring that it takes away from additional funding that could instead be used for tax relief.

Texas House of Representatives


None
