Governor Greg Abbott has expanded the agenda for Texas Legislature's Special Session #2 to address public safety and election security. In a message sent today, Governor Abbott outlined two additional items for consideration during the session.

The first proposed item is legislation that would prohibit same day voter registration in Texas. The second involves authorizing contracts with sheriffs and constables for law enforcement services, as well as addressing the appropriation or transfer of funds to or from law enforcement agencies.

According to Governor Abbott, these measures are intended to improve both public safety and the security of elections in the state.
