As of today, January 22, 1,646
bills have been filed in the Texas House. I have gone through the bills and
pulled out the ones related to PreK-12 education and the Teacher Retirement
System.
Always keep in mind that TRS is a misleading
misnomer. It is the retirement system for all public-ed retirees in
Texas—our bus drivers, clerical staff, counselors, cafeteria staff, nurses,
social workers, police officers, maintenance employees, classroom aides,
sign-language interpreters, custodians, librarians, administrators, etc.--not
just teachers.
All filed House bills can be found here.
March 10 is the unrestricted bill filing deadline, so bills filed between now
and March 10 will be added to this list daily. (I did not include the
resolutions filed.)
WARNING: In Word, there are 25
pages of bills on this list. On the Texas Legislature Online website, they are
listed in numerical order. I have categorized them based on topic, hoping that
will be much easier for those who wish to follow bills on specific topics.
Please note there is some overlap; for example, there are Parent Rights bills
under Curriculum and Instruction and School Safety and Assessment bills under
Special Education.
Within the next day or two, I
will provide a similar list of Texas Senate bills filed.
If you identify bills you want to
follow as they move through the process, receiving alerts whenever there is
movement, click here,
set up an account, and then list the bill numbers you want to follow.
Remember: Knowledge is emPOWERment!
