This week the Texas Senate passed the most substantive changes to its rules in a generation. I was proud to support its passage and help craft important components to protect the taxpayer and increase transparency. Other new rules championed by Senator Van Taylor (R-Plano) will provide further taxpayer protections. One of Senator Taylor’s proposals that is now in place requires all revenue bills originate in the Texas House. This will improve transparency because the House has a rule that every bill must advertise right at the beginning whether it raises taxes. This “Truth in Taxation” rule was actually proposed and implemented by Senator Taylor when he was a member of the House in 2013.
