Two key things to know about the proposed Texas Water Fund:

1. Can fund lots of different water supply & infrastructure projects.

2. Comes with smart financial flexibility for @twdb.

BONUS TAKE: Expands Texas' financial strategy for #txwater.

The PUCT sunset bill, a Frankenstein of a bill, passed the Senate, too. Crisis probably averted on grid bills. More on what's in (and not in) the bill tomorrow (and below), but that likely means that there would not need to be a special session to deal with PUC sunset. #txlege

National Champs! 🏆 🔥

Congratulations @SalisburyU on bringing home the hardware and making Maryland proud!

We love to see it! HB 1845 helps our water workforce! @txbiz supported this bill this session.

[Jeremy B. Mazur @jeremybmazur]

Thank you Gov. @GregAbbott_TX for signing HB 1845 by Rep. @willmetcalfTX and Sen. @electcharles into law today!

This bill helps address the larger issue of needing a qualified workforce to operate our water and wastewater systems.

@Texas2036 supported HB 1845. #txwater #txlege

@srh_cmpbll can't say I haven't thought about doing this

[Texas Association of Business @txbiz]

Being no. 1 for economic development means more manufacturing, more people — and greater energy needs across the state. TAB CEO @GlennHamer discussed the economic benefits of renewable energy with the @BastropTxCOC. #txenergy #txlege

SB 1499 has passed both chambers and is heading to the Governor! This bill supports funding for port infrastructure projects that will increase connectivity and enhance commerce and trade from Texas ports! Thank you @SenatorNichols and @TerryCanales40 #txlege @txbiz

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Signed SB 1017 into law to protect energy choice in Texas.

No city or county should be able to deny Texans the ability to put gas in their cars, power their lawnmowers, or use natural gas in their homes.

I thank @SenatorBirdwell & Rep. @BrooksLandgraf for leading this effort.
