"With the attention on
many, many appraisal reforms
as well, I believe that this is a
balanced package," said Bet-
tencourt. "It looks at the needs
of rural Texas, as well as urban.
More importantly, it looks
at the needs of taxpayers all
across the state."
This bill was a major priority
for state leadership.
"We made a promise, the
Governor, the Speaker and I,
when the session started that
we're going to focus on prop-
erty tax reform [and] relief to
you," Patrick said in a video
statement released upon pas-
sage of the measure. "[Mon-
day], was the first bill to pass as
part of that package."
It now heads to the House
for consideration, and Patrick
said that with new leadership
in that chamber, he believes
the bill has a good chance of
reaching the governor's desk
this session.
Also this week, the Sen-
ate approved the remaining
two bills in a four-bill package
from Conroe Senator Brandon
Creighton that would prohibit
certain municipal regulations
on private businesses.
