Gov. Greg Abbott is threatening to veto bills if a House-Senate compromise is not reached on property tax relief. Abbott has until Sunday to sign or veto more than 300 bills from the regular session — or let them become law without his signature.
Sunday is the deadline for Abbott to sign or veto bills from the regular session, which ended late last month without a resolution on property taxes. Lawmakers are about halfway through a 30-day special session in which they remain gridlocked on the issue.
Abbott’s comments earlier Wednesday appeared to significantly raise the stakes as he tries to coax a property tax compromise out of the two chambers. Abbott initially backed the House’s approach to the issue in the special session, but he has since cooled off, instead calling for the two chambers to strike an agreement that can reach his desk.
Abbott’s Tuesday veto of SB 2035, which deals with bond election restrictions, was notable because its author was Sen.“Senate Bill 2035 has too many loopholes,” Abbott said in his veto proclamation. “This bill can be reconsidered at a future special session only after property tax relief is passed.”
