Because the Texas Division of Emergency Management sends personnel in response to disasters. Due to conditions in the disaster area and the amount of work to be done, disaster response personnel sometimes have to remain at their assigned location for a number of hours. It seems within the scope of a limited, responsible government to allow the division to provide to their disaster response team a reasonable lunch or dinner if they are not allowed to go and buy it for themselves.
Additionally, the fiscal note indicates that the costs associated with providing this authority could be absorbed within existing resources.
As a consequence, we support House Bill 120.
