45. SB 219 - Bonnen, D. Amendment

POSITION

Oppose Amendment

House Record Vote: 991

Adoption; May 20, 2013; RV #991; Journal Page 3795: 90 Yeas, 51 Nays, 3 Present-not-voting

YCT Nay. Amendment 2 to SB 219 required members of the Railroad Commission (RRC) to resign to run for a different office; this is not required for any other office. While it is a worthy concern that politicians could use the position of Railroad Commissioner as a launching pad for higher office to the detriment of the commission, it is hypocritical for the legislature to put limits on the RRC that they do not have to meet themselves and have not placed on other state officials. Governor Perry wisely vetoed SB 219.
