The committee will hear invited testimony on the following charges:
 
Study the exemption in the Texas lobby contingent fee ban, which currently
permits contingent fees and does not require lobby registration, for
influenceing the purchasing of goods or services by a state agency.
Consider whether this exemption should be amended or repealed.
 
Research the current Texas law prohibiting the use of public resources
for political advertising, and determine whether the law needs to be
amended to clarify that publicly funded e-mail systems may not be used for
political communications.
