Bio: Bios for Ms. Hanes & Ms. Peace are available here: https://aquiferalliance.org/geaa-staff/
Synopsis: It’s looking like it’ll be another water session at the Texas Capitol! As we head into the 2025 Legislative Session, Ms. Peace and Ms. Hanes will provide an overview of the Texas Legislature and how our unique legislative sessions work. They’ll highlight what’s happening in the 2024 interim session; the key legislative initiatives, bills of concern, and bills of opportunity likely to pop up in 2025; and how GEAA members and friends can get and stay involved in the legislative process. The Legislative Session is always a wild ride in Texas, but don’t worry – GEAA is ready to help you not only stay in the saddle, but also take the bull by the horns and become an informed citizen who can advocate for your best interests and the best interests of Texas water.
