Summer 2009


 * Paper #2: Outline of a Bill Before the Texas Legislature**: The Texas Legislature just wrapped up its 81st Session. It would be appropriate for us to review its activities. In my lecture class, we will review a list of some of the key bills passed in the session. I want you to select a bill and thoroughly describe the bill and pay special to the political conflicts associated with it. This will include an analysis of where the various interest groups in Texas line up on the legislation as well as the nature of the members who wrote, sponsored and co-sponsored the legislation. I have been posting information on some of the bill in the legislature on my blog. You can view them by clicking on the tab labelled [|81st Session]. You can also look up bills on your own by going to the [|Texas Legislature Online]. I don't want repetition, so please claim a bill for yourself as soon as possible.
