If it hasn't passed by now, there's always next session
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Texas Legislature: "A few minutes after midnight, the sharp bang of a gavel became the death knell for about 5,000 bills.
It was the deadline for a bill to pass the full House, and it became the clear line between the survivors and (according to their authors) the ideas that were ahead of their time.
The big-ticket items – the $138 billion budget, property tax cuts, school changes, Child Protective Services – had cleared the major hurdles and will continue the sweaty struggle that is the last two weeks of the Legislature's session.
But weary lawmakers Friday were tucking away hundreds of others, like forlorn fans, saying: Just wait till next session."
