State Legislature Bills

Creates a two-year, $180 million capped state fund competitively matching local spending on drainage, detention, and voluntary property buyouts in repeatedly flooded ZIP codes. Projects require at least a 50% local share, public scoring, limited overhead, and legislative reauthorization to continue.

The bill creates a voluntary, two-year wildfire-resilience program offering repayable loans, technical assistance, limited liability protection, and recognition for verified private-land thinning, grassland restoration, and firebreak projects.

This bill creates temporary Texas tax abatements and limited infrastructure support for large projects like sports venues, factories, data centers, and mixed-use developments if they meet job and revenue targets. It also adds fast-track permitting, annual reporting, clawbacks for missed promises, and a five-year sunset.

This bill creates a state-facilitated health insurance cooperative for small businesses, freelancers, and sole proprietors in Texas to access negotiated group rates. It emphasizes lower costs and simpler enrollment while requiring the program to be fully self-funded with no use of state general revenue or state liability for claims.
