The Texas House has given its approval to the conference committee report on Senate Bill 17, which incorporates modifications to the bill’s original text and amendments that were adopted during its passage through both the House and Senate.
The bill, aimed at prohibiting individuals and entities from federally designated adversarial countries from purchasing land in the state, is one of the most divisive pieces of legislation this session. During its initial presentation in the lower chamber, there were nearly six hours of debate and arguments before it passed.
