SB 1 - Motion in Writing

SB 1, the General Appropraitauions act, is the Texas State budget for the 2026-2027 biennium. The first motion in writing on SB 1 moved dozens of amendments into the draft budget or Article XI, known as the "wishlist" article. This motion effectively killed these amendments, preventing a public vote from being taken on them, many of which were pro-taxpayer amendments. For these reasons, TFR opposes the Motion.
