KEY ISSUES
The special sessions have concluded, and PAAT is turning its focus to the interim and preparation for the 90th Texas Legislative Session. During this period, we’ll continue to monitor developments that affect the government affairs profession and engage with policymakers on key ethics and lobbying issues.
