Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 86(R)

House Bill 70

House Author:  González, Mary et al.

Effective:  Vetoed

Senate Sponsor:  Hall

            House Bill 70 amends the Agriculture Code to require the Department of Agriculture to include in its strategic plan a goal of preventing crop diseases and plant pests in Texas.

 

Governor's Reason for Veto: "House Bill 70 would unnecessarily direct the Department of Agriculture to include in its strategic plan the goal of preventing crop diseases and plant pests. That subject is adequately covered in the Department of Agriculture's most recent strategic plan, and that is not expected to change in future iterations. See TEX.GOV'T CODE § 2056.002(b)."
