88th Legislature<\/strong> The second special session ended with the Legislature approving the largest property tax cuts in State History. Gov. Abbott signed the $18 billion package that will provide much needed relieve for millions of Texans. Voters now will have to approve the bill later this year. This priority was a cornerstone for his 2023 campaign. Some of the highlights include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, Abbott also signed SB 2 and SB 3 which will exempt businesses that bring in less than $2.47 million in annual revenue from the franchise tax, doubling the current exemption. You can read more about these bills in “Bills of the Weekâ€. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Governor still has many priorities so expect more special sessions soon. Below are the priorities for special sessions moving forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please check out the “Grassroots America†site below. This is the best all in one site to find how your representative voted and other information. I’ve also included a poll asking members to rate our 88th<\/sup> Legislative Session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Matthew Okerson 88th LegislatureSpecial Session 88(1) | May 29, 2023 – June 27, 2023Special Session 88(2) | June 27, 2023 – July 13, … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-legislative-updates","no-featured-image-padding","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"\n
