Bill Analysis

HB 2196 would allow the Texas State Railroad Authority to contract with a person for the retail sale of alcoholic beverages on authority property that is used as a passenger rail station. It would also authorize an alcoholic beverage purchased by a consumer on a passenger train for present consumption to be removed from the train in order to be consumed on property that is a public entertainment facility owned or leased by the authority, and vice versa.

Texas Action remains neutral on HB 2196 as it does not affect our liberty principles.
