Bill Caption
Relating to the purchase of food and beverages by the Texas Division of Emergency Management for certain personnel.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Under current law, the Texas Division of Emergency Management may use funds to purchase food and beverages for division personnel who are activated in response to a disaster. SB 854 would change the phrasing to be "persons" instead of "division personnel", and would expand the conditions to include emergency situations and incidents.
Vote Recommendation Notes
SB 854 does not appear to have a connection with our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
