Senate Bill 422, relating to the authority of a municipality to impose a fine or fee in certain areas in the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, will have a public hearing in the Land and Resources Committee of the House on Tuesday, May 7th, in room E2.012. The session begins at 8 a.m.  This is your opportunity to testify as to your belief or simply observe our State Government process.

Also helpful would be sending emails or calling the committee members to ask for their support in eliminating the fees and fines in our area.  You can go to https://capitol.texas.gov/Committees/MembershipCmte.aspx?LegSess=86R&CmteCode=C360 for a list of members and additional information on the hearing (click Meetings at the bottom of the page).  The phone numbers for each committee member is as follows, and the link on their name takes you to their bio and contact list:
