Senate Bill 2277 |
Senate Author: Zaffirini |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
House Sponsor: Cook |
Senate Bill 2277 amends the Family Code to set out and revise provisions relating to an amicus attorney appointed in a suit affecting the parent‑child relationship, including provisions relating to the appointment process, minimum qualifications, conflicts of interest, standard of care, powers and duties, and removal.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "While Senate Bill No. 2277 is important, it is simply not as important as cutting property taxes. At this time, the legislature must concentrate on delivering property tax cuts to Texans. This bill can be reconsidered at a future special session only after property tax relief is passed."
