Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1215	Senate Author:  Hughes
Effective:  Vetoed	House Sponsor:  Shine et al.

            Senate Bill 1215 creates a joint interim committee to conduct a study on issues relating to construction contracts in Texas and issue a report on the study to specified legislative officers and appropriate legislative committees. The joint interim committee is abolished and the bill's provisions expire September 1, 2019.

 

            Governor's Reason for Veto: "Senate Bill 1215 creates a joint interim committee of the Legislature to study construction contracts. The House and Senate can, and do, study topics in the interim without passage of a law. Legislation mandating legislative studies and legislative interim committees is unnecessary. The Legislature is free to study construction contracts with or without this bill."
