Resolutions and recognitions are the main happenings on the chambers' floors right now. (The Texas Constitution prohibits pretty much anything else non emergent or non budget related for the first 60 days.)
The good news is Donna Howard presented a resolution to honor nurse practitioners: HR 218 ( http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=84R&Bill=HR218). So did Cecil Bell: HR 459 (http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=84R&Bill=HR459).
We are moving in a forward direction, but we're not quite there. In the next couple of weeks committees will roll up their sleeves and get down to business. Bills will be filed and negotiations will start.
This is clutch time. We MUST answer the calls to action. Petitions, phone calls, Facebook, Twitter. You're on social media taking a quiz about something asinine anyway. Make it productive!
