BREAKING: TX Senate has voted 18-13 to pass #HB2127, a sweeping bill that would overturn current local ordinances & prevent cities from adopting new one that are tougher than state laws on numerous issues. #txlege
Democrats tried to propose several amendments to increase labor protections, but they all failed. #HB2127 #txlege
Still waiting for the Senate record vote, but Republican Sen. @SenatorNichols office said he voted no on #HB2127 #txlege
Should note that this vote = preliminary approval. TX Senate will still have to come back tomorrow to formally approve #HB2127 #txlege
Confirmed via Senate Journal that Sen. @SenatorNichols is the lone Republican to vote against #HB2127. Everyone else voted along party lines. #txlege Image

BREAKING: TX House voted 87-56 to give final approve to #SB14, which would ban gender-affirming care for trans youth. @TexasTribune #txlege texastribune.org/2023/05/12/tex…
@TexasTribune The vote was largely along party time. Though, some Democrats including state Reps. @RepHaroldDutton, Tracy King, and @ShawnieT146 voted yes. They also voted yes on Friday. #txlege
Also, as @eklib reported: Department of Public Safety say police removed 3 people from the gallery for displaying a banner and disrupting a public meeting, and issued them a criminal trespass warning that prohibits them from being in the Capitol for a year. #txlege

TX House will be formally voting on #SB14, which would ban transition-related medical treatments for trans minors, today. It's a short calendar today and SB 14 is up top. The chamber has already given the bill its preliminary approval on Friday. #txlege bit.ly/42G3ps6
There seems to be little presence of #SB14’s supporters or opponents today. Outside the Capitol, there's this billboard truck driving around downtown near the building. It’s sponsored by advocacy groups that have been vocal critics of the bill. #txlege
The Texas House has started considering #SB14. A protestor chanted briefly from the gallery. Rep. @DonnaHowardTX is now asking Rep. @TomOliverson, the key sponsor of the bill, questions

Today, TX House will be attempting to consider #SB14, which would ban gender-affirming medical treatments for trans minor, for the third time. The bill is last on the 7-page House’s calendar so we won’t be getting to it for a while. #txlege @TexasTribune bit.ly/3o0e2GP
This morning, LGBTQ Texans and their allies are planning to march to the South steps of the Capitol to protest #SB14. Supporters for the bill, wearing red shirts that say "save Texas kids" are already in the building. Some also sang & prayed before entering the gallery. #txlege
Dems, including the 9 openly LGBTQ lawmakers, are also planning to read stories of trans youth who would be affected by #SB14. And Dems have delayed debates on this twice via points of order, so we can probably expect to see more of them today. #txlege bit.ly/3VW0SYa
