|
|
the opportunity to honor the members of the Texas Legislative Study |
|
|
Group for their essential contributions; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 1993, the Texas Legislative Study Group |

is an official caucus of the Texas House of Representatives that |

|
relies on facts and evidence to promote progressive solutions to |
|
|
the challenges facing the citizens of the Lone Star State; the |
|

daily floor reports with analysis on each bill that the House |
|
|
Calendars Committee sets for floor consideration; the duties of the |

policy analysts involve attending committee meetings and |
|
|
consulting with advocates, staff members, and policy experts to |
|
|
study all aspects of a bill before making a recommendation; and |
|

WHEREAS, The members of the Texas Legislative Study Group |

|
have performed their duties as policy analysts with skill and |
|
|
dedication, and they are indeed deserving of recognition for their |
|

outstanding work; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend the staff of the Texas Legislative Study |
|
|
Group and extend to the members sincere best wishes for the future; |
