Bill Analysis
HB

disaster recovery projects. The bill would establish the disaster recovery loan
account in the general revenue fund under the Department of Emergency
Management (TDEM) and would appropriate $60 million through the biennium.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Texas Action is neutral on HB 2300 because it does not affect our liberty principles. Disaster recovery and relief is within the legitimate realm of state government.
