2018 State Party Platform

We request the House Republican Caucus work with the Republican Party of Texas on House rule changes prior to the next legislative session that would facilitate the passage of legislation based on the Republican platform and Legislative Priorities. Such changes should not have the result of disenfranchising the minority party, but should ensure that the majority party can get its own business done. These changes should include, but not be limited to, changing House Rule 6 Section 21 (2017 House Rules) to allow for a motion to place a bill on the calendar after 7 days instead of 30 days.
