2011 Legislative Session
January 11 - May 30, 2011
With the state looking
at a deficit, we will be working with the legislature
to ensure that there are no new bills passed which
will negatively affect our industry. Check back here
often for any updates or call to actions that might
be required to achieve this goal.
Here are the dates of interest for the upcoming
session. If you have any questions about the session
contact Toni Silcox.
Protect Your Rights
Visit www.myrightstexas.org to learn more.
AMOT formed My Rights Texas to give a voice to Texans across the state who oppose continued efforts to enact a statewide law to ban smoking. With the My Rights Texas campaign, we will work together to protect the financial viability of small business owners, and to stand up for private property rights and individual freedoms that Texans hold dear. Limited government and personal liberty are principles that Texans hold dear – and we believe, are the core principles that have allowed small businesses like ours to thrive.
A 2008 survey indicates that voters have little stomach for further government encroachment and want the government to focus on true quality of life issues like fighting crime and fixing our public schools. Visit the coalition website at www.myrightstexas.org for more information and to sign up for the e-mail newsletter.
