January
13 is when I last performed a comprehensive review of all public-education-related
bills filed in the Texas Legislature this session. At that time, 1101 House Bills had been
filed. As of this morning, March 16,
2021, 4569 House Bills have been filed. This is a list of the bills filed since my last list.
My head is reeling at this point, so I apologize if I missed any, but this is my list of bills and resolutions that have been filed up to this point that would affect public schools and public-school employees and retirees.
A few notes:
·
Anything highlighted relates to TRS members,
active and retired (also referred to as the Texas Public School
Employees Group Insurance Program), as well as two House Concurrent Resolutions, HCR 42 by Rep. Jeff Cason and Rep. Abel Herrero and HCR 43 by Rep. Herrero, that call for the Texas House of Representatives to advocate on behalf of all of us unfairly impacted by the Social Security Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO).
·
You can use “Find” on your computer to look for
specific key words that are of particular interest to you that you want to
follow. Some suggestions are: mental
health (also behavioral health), special education, bullying, charter schools,
COVID (also disease), immunization, cost of living, assessment (which is used
in place of STAAR in the bills), online learning (and virtual learning), school
finance, Foundation School Program, dual enrollment, virtual meetings
·
Note that each bill number on my list is in blue
and is underlined. That is a direct link
to the text/summary of the bill if you would like to read more about it.
· When you find bills/resolutions of interest to you and you want to follow them as they move through the legislative process, you can do so by setting up an account here. In the far-right corner, click “Login.” Then click “New User?” Set up your account. Once your account has been set up, click “Home,” and under “Search Legislation,” click in the “Bill Number” circle. Type in the bill number of the bill you want to follow. Then, on the right side, click on “Alert List” so you will receive an alert every time there is any action regarding that bill. (I leave it on “Any Category” so I get an alert by email every time there is any movement on the bill, but you can choose for which actions in the process you want to receive an alert.) You can also keep a running list of bills you are following by clicking “Add to Bill List,” which allows you to set up different categories so your list is organized by subjects.)
In Microsoft Word, where I first copy and paste all of the bills filed, to date, there are 51 PAGES of bills affecting public education and public-school employees and retirees. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION and keep others informed, too.
READY! SET! GO!!!!
