    Texas House Proposes Rule Changes, Including DOGE and Intergovernmental Affairs Committees, Empowering Democrats Amid Restructuring

    5 postsTexasPoliticsUnited States

    Proposed changes to the Texas House rules have been released, which include the elimination of six standing committees and the creation of two new ones: a DOGE committee and an Intergovernmental Affairs committee. Additionally, the new rules will transform vice-chairs into co-chairs, granting them increased control over committees. This shift is seen as a method to empower Democrats within the House, as a speaker designee will act as a referee in cases of disagreement between Democratic vice-chairs and Republican chairs. Reports indicate that the Republican Speaker of the House has negotiated a deal with Democrats, which involves banning Democratic chairs while creating more committees with Democratic majorities, potentially allowing Democrats to influence legislative priorities significantly.
