Texas House of Representatives Interim Study Charges Released November 28 – 30th

On November 30th, Speaker of the House Tom Craddick released the final third of the interim committee charges for 36 of the House’s standing committees. The committees will conduct studies and then issue reports with recommendations for consideration by the 81st Legislature. As in the past many of the interim charge recommendations will be used to draft legislation on a particular issue. It is likely that many of the committees will create stakeholder work groups to examine the aspects of the charges. Therefore if you have an interest in providing information for a study, please contact the TAC Legislative department.

We have highlighted in yellow some of the more significant county related charges. These are what we consider to be most significant for counties, but as the studies progress, this list is subject to change. Therefore the TAC legislative department will closely monitor the progress of all studies looking for local government impact.
