“Thank you to Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan and Chairman Todd Hunter for moving the Lone Star State in the right direction with the Texas Jobs & Security Act. For Texas to remain a national economic leader, we must use tools that other states and countries are using to attract businesses to our state, and this legislation will give our local communities a powerful economic tool to attract jobs and investments.”
