    AUSTIN, Texas — The House Committee on Public Health on Monday discussed a bill aimed at reducing the backlog of maternal death cases that need review. House Bill 713, authored by State Rep. Donna Howard (D-Austin), would exempt nurses who are looking at cases as part of the Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee from having to report instances of misconduct. Back in 2022, the committee missed its report deadline because members were still reviewing cases from 2019.

    AUSTIN, Texas — A bill that would give Texas teachers raises was filed in the Texas Senate on Tuesday. State Sen. Brandon Creighton of Conroe filed Senate Bill 26 on Feb. 18. It would give teachers raises based on their experience and the size of the school district. Teachers with three to four years of experience in rural districts with 5,000 students enrolled or less would get an extra $5,000 a year. Teachers in urban districts with that same amount of experience would get a $2,500 raise.

    AUSTIN, Texas — Texans are one step closer to seeing larger property tax breaks. On Thursday, the Texas Senate passed Senate Bill 4 (SB 4) unanimously with a 30-0 vote. The bill would increase the Homestead Exemption from $100,000 to $140,000, and up to $150,000 for seniors and disabled people, which the bill's sponsor State Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston) said could save the average homeowner an estimated $363 each year.
