The Texas State Library and Archives Commission is tracking this bill and also HB1707 by Rep. Howard, which was introduced yesterday.  They aren't directly related to TSLAC, but we always monitor bills that might have an unanticipated impact on our electronic resources programs.

Yes, she is pretty amazing. Gifted speaker, thoughtful and caring.

It was a good group of witnesses. I think lines of argument are very clear.
