More than 770 new state laws will take effect in Texas on September 1. Dr. Ken Wink, political science professor at UT Tyler, will discuss the wave of new s laws . Topics range from curbing street racing to enforcing school safety, and even addressing hair-based racial discrimination in workplaces. Wink will explore the potential implications of what some are calling sweeping legislative changes.
Wink will also address the controversy surrounding House Bill 3, a response to the Uvalde school shooting, which promises a significant influx of funds to fortify schools, as well as Senate Bill 763, the school chaplain bill. This new law seeks to redefine school mental health support by permitting the employment of chaplains in school districts. Finally, Wink will discuss how the impeachment proceedings against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton might affect the upcoming political season.
