| 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| Consider whether this exemption should be amended or repealed.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. |
