A new rule will require an 18-vote threshold for bringing a bill to the Senate floor.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate Finance and State Affairs committee work closely together to ensure that policy changes and funding changes complement each other as session progresses. The Senate Finance committee will again be chaired by Senator Jane Nelson (R \u2013 Flower Mound), who along with Senators Eddie Lucio (D \u2013 Brownsville) and Charles Schwertner (R \u2013 Georgetown) also serve on Senate State affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate State Affairs committee will be chaired by Senator Bryan Hughes (R \u2013 Mineola). Hughes moved into this position after the last session as Senator Joan Huffman (R \u2013 Houston) was named to lead the Senate Redistricting process through the interim. The Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) is looking forward to working with both Chairs Hughes and Nelson, as well as all the committee members, to advance our priorities and the TRS Sunset bill.<\/p>\n<p>A full list of the committee assignments is <a href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/139c8c12f5d4628c0bbd65c86\/files\/372f9fdc-d48d-4319-86c6-1098ca61f5c4\/2021_Senate_Committees.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/139c8c12f5d4628c0bbd65c86\/files\/372f9fdc-d48d-4319-86c6-1098ca61f5c4\/2021_Senate_Committees.pdf\">available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"null\"><strong>Gracias<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Stay tuned to the <em>L\u00ednea interior<\/em> for additional information as we dive more deeply into the 87th Legislative Session.
