The Texas House Research Organization (HRO) has published a report that highlights some of the topics the 87th Legislature may consider when it convenes in regular session on January 12, 2021. Topics include but are not limited to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on public health, education, and the economy. In addition, lawmakers in 2021 are expected to consider a once-a-decade redistricting process for congressional, state House and Senate, and State Board of Education districts. (Please note the amount lawmakers are estimated to have has since been updated since this publication).
The report also notes a total of 19 agencies are under review this session by the Sunset Advisory Commission, including the Texas Department of Agriculture, the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, and the Teacher Retirement System of Texas.
