Summary: The Senate Finance Committee heard several measures, beginning with SB 1574 by Senator Zaffirini, which would codify the Texas Judicial Council’s Centers of Excellence Program for courts and judges. Testimony from judges and the Office of Court Administration emphasized that the program promotes transparency, procedural fairness, mentoring, and public trust. A committee substitute expanded eligibility to justices of the peace and municipal judges and removed a merit-pay reference to eliminate fiscal impact. After quorum was established, the committee adopted the substitute and later voted it out favorably, though it was not certified for the local and uncontested calendar. The committee also heard SB 2774 by Senator Hinojosa, which would amend the Tax Code’s retail trade definition to include industrial uniform and linen rental businesses so they qualify for the lower franchise tax rate. Supporters said the change would put rental textile businesses on equal footing with other rental industries and help Texas employers and customers. The bill was reported favorably to the full Senate. Members then considered SB 1211 by Senator Perry, which would broaden the existing fracking-related sales tax exemption for equipment used with non-fresh water sources, including recycled, produced, and brine water. The bill’s supporters argued it would conserve freshwater and reduce litigation over water definitions, while the Comptroller’s office discussed the fiscal note and production-related revenue effects. The committee also heard SB 2873 and SB 2900, both by Senator Kolkhorst and presented by Senator Nichols; SB 2873 would require electronic filers to file electronically, and SB 2900 would eliminate certain Comptroller-related advisory committees and boards. Both were later adopted in committee substitute form and reported favorably. Finally, the committee heard HJR 4, sponsored by Senator Parker, proposing a constitutional amendment to prohibit new taxes on securities transfers or financial transaction processing. Supporters said it would protect investors, especially retirees, and help position Texas as a financial center. The committee voted to report HJR 4 favorably to the full Senate. In each recorded vote after quorum was present, the measures passed with nine ayes and no nays.

Committee: Senate Ethics and Elections

Keywords: financial disclosures, ethics, government transparency, gift reporting, procurement

Summary: The Ethics and Elections Committee met with a quorum present and Senator Polsky excused. The committee first considered Senate Bill 964, sponsored by Senator Wright on behalf of Senator Linda Stewart, which revises reporting requirements for certain gifts and honoraria. The bill implements Commission on Ethics recommendations to clarify that reporting individuals must file Form 10 paper forms with the Commission, rather than attaching them to electronic financial disclosures. Carrie Stillman, executive director of the Ethics Commission, testified in support, explaining that the change will align the statute with current filing practice and allow the Commission to update its rules and forms. After brief discussion and no opposition, SB 964 was approved unanimously and reported favorably. The committee then took up Tabs 2 through 15, a group of confirmation appointments that had been provided in advance and were not requested for separate consideration. On motion and second, the committee approved all of the nominees together by unanimous roll call vote and reported them favorably to the Senate. With no further business, the committee adjourned after a final motion to rise was adopted unanimously.
