Please read the actual bill postings before freaking out. Unless it was proposed then dropped immediately, I did not see an expansion on the lockdown in the Texas Legislature postings from 2/9/21, but I did see these gems:
HB 1702- Relating to lobbying by former members of the legislature; creating a criminal offense.
HB 1708- Relating to an electronic voting system that produces a voter-verifiable paper record.
HB 1724- Relating to service as an election watcher. (They changed the language from the watcher "being near" to "being near enough to see and hear" the counter.)
HB 1725- Relating to prohibiting in-person delivery of ballots by mail.
HCR 85- Proposing a constitutional amendment to prevent certain public officers and entities from prohibiting the operation of industries or other categories of business or commercial activity in this state.
SJR37- Claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the U.S. Constitution, serving notice to the federal government to halt and reverse certain mandates, and providing that certain federal legislation be prohibited or repealed.
