City leaders advocate for residents, businesses during 87th Texas Legislative session

City of San Marcos staff and elected officials continue to advocate on behalf of local  residents and businesses as the 87th Texas Legislative Session reaches key deadlines. 

As authorized by the City’s Intergovernmental Relations Program, city leaders work throughout the legislative process with advocacy organizations like the Texas Municipal League and contracted government relations firms to track each bill, understand its implications and act in the best interests of the community.

Following the 60-day bill filing deadline marked on March 12, elected officials and municipalities have now begun to provide feedback on the thousands of bills filed by lawmakers across the state.
