The Urban Counties Policy Analysis Project has a final comprehensive report for the 79th Legislative Session. The Urban Counties staff reviewed and analyzed 1,280 bills over the course of the legislative session (approximately 5,600 bills were filed) that were of specific interest to county government officials. Of these, 351 were signed into law, five became law without a signature, and eleven were vetoed by Governor Perry.

The Final Legislative Report is organized by the major policy areas, which will allow county officials to easily review particular areas of interest. The analysis of each bill contains the familiar summaries prepared by the Urban Counties staff supplemented with recommended actions for county officials to consider in ensuring that they comply with the changes in the law. Urban County members may obtain a free copy of the final report on CD-ROM by contacting michael@cuc.org or by calling the Urban Counties offices at 512/476-6174.
