Texas Senate passes first major winter storm bill

Lt. Gov. Patrick says “I know Senator Hancock is working on the ERCOT reform bill and we have on board a number of other single-shot bills. So, the work is just beginning”

The Texas Senate passed its first Winter Storm Uri bill today with unanimous support and one key substantive debate: an amendment by Sen. Kelly Hancock, R-North Richland Hills, focused on reliability that drew a split vote but was adopted 18-13.
