Passage; May 5, 2015; Journal Page 1324; 23 Yeas, 8 Nays


YCT Nay. This bill would amend the Government Code to create an Advisory Council on Cultural Affairs in the Office of the Governor to advise on furthering the economic, social, legal, and political contributions and equality of the Hispanic population of Texas. YCT is opposed to this legislation as we do not believe it is the role of government to choose one demographic over another for focusing its efforts.
