How this connects
House Bill 293 proposes to add new rules in Texas about when lawmakers can accept campaign donations. The bill says legislators and campaign committees cannot accept donations during times when a house of the legislature does not have enough members present to conduct business. This is called a quorum. When we show up together, our community becomes more connected, more resilient, and more powerful.
