HB 978 – Texans with Disabilities Update!\t<\/p>\n

May 20, 2009<\/p>\n

TEXAS HOUSE BILL (HB) 978 VOTED OUT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON
\nBUSINESS AND COMMERCE WITH BIPARTISAN SUPPORT LOCAL AND UNCONTESTED!<\/p>\n

Thank you for contacting Senate representatives. With a unanimous
\nvote of 8-0 (one Senator absent), Texas House Bill (HB) 978 was voted
\nout of the Senate Committee on Business and Commerce Monday, May 19,
\n2009, and recommended for the local and uncontested calendar today.
\nThis means that a debate on the Senate floor may not be necessary for
\nHB 978 to be sent to the Governor\u2019s desk for signature. The good
\nnews is HB 978 has received bipartisan support and is still in
\nprocess.<\/p>\n
