The House Committee on Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence has released its interim report to the 87th Legislature. The report includes information on charges given to the committee and testimony collected, but the committee did not make recommendations. For more information please see the full report here and below for a statement from the Committee.

Statement on Recommendations

  • In addition to affecting public testimony, the COVID-19 pandemic unfortunately limited the opportunities for discussion and deliberation among members of the Committee with regard to the assigned interim charges. Consequently, the Committee was unable to identify new recommendations, but strongly encourages future discussions and solutions during the 87th Legislative Session. It is of critical importance that the topics and issues raised in the interim charges continue to be examined and addressed. We look forward to participating in these discussions and working with our colleagues in the Legislature in order to pass strong and sensible reform in civil law and the judiciary.
