Governor Greg Abbott has expanded the agenda for Texas Legislature’s Special Session #2 to address new legislative priorities focused on public safety and election security.

The governor outlined two specific items for lawmakers to consider. The first is legislation aimed at prohibiting same day voter registration in Texas. The second item concerns legislation that would authorize contracts with sheriffs and constables for law enforcement services, as well as matters related to the appropriation or transfer of funds involving law enforcement agencies.

“Governor Greg Abbott today sent a message to the Texas Legislature expanding the Special Session #2 agenda to include legislation that will improve public safety and the security of Texas elections.”

These measures are intended to address ongoing concerns about election integrity and law enforcement resources in the state.
