89th Texas Legislature Convenes in January

At noon on January 14, 2025, the Texas Legislature will convene and the 89^th Regular Session will begin. On that day, the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate will both be “open for business.” While the session doesn’t officially start until January, pre-filing of bills begins on November 11, 2024.During the 88^th Regular Session, 8,046 House Bills and Senate Bills were filed, 1,246 bills passed, and 77 vetoed. This was an increase in both bill filings and bills passed from the previous session that was somewhat impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.Throughout the session, TDLR will track bills filed that, if enacted, would impact TDLR’s programs, and will highlight those bills in future editions of the TDLR Health Monitor. Also, be sure to check TDLR’s website in the coming months for our dedicated page on the 89^th Legislative Session.
