Impeachment Reform: Evaluate
the constitutional and statutory impeachment procedures in our state. Make
recommendations to ensure a fair and transparent process.
Lottery: Study
“lottery courier services,” which allow their clients to purchase lottery
tickets over the internet. Report on the number of couriers and the magnitude
of sales from such services in Texas. Determine whether courier services are
operating legally in Texas and whether a change in law is needed to respond
to technological advancements to protect children in our state and to
maintain original legislative intent. Recommend legislation to clarify
Texas’s laws regarding online lottery sales.
Addressing Homelessness: Study programs that address the homelessness crisis in
Texas. Specifically, review programs like Haven for Hope and determine
whether such programs could be a model throughout our state. Propose
legislation to address the root causes of homelessness by expanding
successful programs for cities of all sizes.
