Senate Bill (SB) 10 by Sen. Joan Huffman (R–Fort Bend), the Senate’s primary TRS legislation, passed out of the Senate Wednesday, March 29, 2023, on a 31-0 vote. The bill will now head to the House for consideration. Meanwhile, the House's primary TRS legislation, House Bill (HB) 600 by Rep. Greg Bonnen (R–Friendswood), was unanimously voted out of committee. The bill will now head to the Calendars Committee and then on to the House floor.
