AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF) – Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is asking for a special legislative session to specifically pass three bills with conservative support. But, Governor Abbott is encouraging lawmakers to stay focused, as the session nears its end.
On Wednesday, Patrick called on the Governor to hold a special session to hear bills that involve transgender athletes, tax payer funded lobbying, and social media censorship.
“The Texas House killed these conservative bills that majority of Texans in both parties support,” Patrick insisted.
Asking @GregAbbott_TX to call a June #SpecialSession today to pass #SB29 to save girls sports, #SB10 to end taxpayer funded lobbying and #SB12 to stop social media censorship. The TxHouse killed these conservative bills that majority of Texans in both parties support. #txlege

Governor Abbott said it appears some lawmakers are trying to end the game before the time clock has run out.
“There’s still time remaining for the House and Senate to work together to get important conservative legislation to my desk,” said Governor Abbott. “Members in both chambers need to be spending every minute of every day to accomplish that mission.”
Abbott has already called a special session for later this year to address the budget and allocating COVID-19 relief funds.
