TCDD policy staff provides testimony on several important disability issues as committee hearings and bill filings continue in the 88th Texas Legislature.
Join the TCDD as we celebrate March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Together, we can create a more inclusive Texas, where people with disabilities are fully included in their communities and exercise control over their own lives.
HB 381 would prohibit the death penalty from being applied to a person with an intellectual disability. The bill was authored by Rep. Senfronia Thompson.
Committee hearings begin in the House and Senate, including one that considers funding for state health and human services.
During the meetings, Council members awarded funding to new and ongoing projects; visited with state lawmakers at the Texas Capitol; and engaged in discussions on disability topics.
