Initially Referred to House State Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican Last Referred to Senate State Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican
HB 2702 prohibits the governor from restricting the operation or hours of nonprofit veterans' organizations during a declared state of disaster, except in cases of natural disasters. The bill amends the Government Code to ensure that executive orders related to disaster response cannot limit the operation of veterans' service organizations that are tax-exempt under federal law. The new provision applies only to disaster declarations issued or renewed on or after the bill's effective date.
