Patrick Expands Texas Religious Liberty Agenda After Chairing Trump Panel
The committee will study religious liberty protections, public education efforts and whether Texas laws align with the First Amendment, Patrick said.
- On Monday, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued seven new interim charges for Senate committees to study ahead of the 90th legislative session beginning January 2027.
- These charges define committee priorities before lawmakers reconvene; the expansion of religious priorities follows Patrick's chairing of a similar federal commission established by President Donald Trump.
- The Senate Religious Liberty Committee, chaired by Sen. Phil King, R-Weatherford, will compare state and federal laws to determine if additional protections align with the 'establishment' and 'free exercise' clauses of the First Amendment.
- Senate committees will also investigate online gaming platforms that 'target minor children' and recommend ways to improve ticket-sale price transparency to protect consumers from deceptive practices.
- The Senate Water, Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee will assess Pecos River Basin management to modernize governance and ensure long-term reliability before the legislative session convenes.
