Below is a PDF summary of the legislative outcomes of our advocacy issues for the 82nd Regular Legislative Session and the consequent first called special session. Governor Perry called for a special session which began immediately after Sine Die of the regular session. Budget issues, school finance, immigration and health care-related concerns were some of the issues on the Governor’s call. Special sessions are distinct from regular sessions, so the bill numbering starts from scratch (H.B. 1, H.B. 2, etc.). Bills from the regular session will be listed as (82-R) and bills from the special session will be listed as (82-1).
