Abbott has until June 22 to sign or veto bills

CAPITOL HIGHLIGHTS

Texas legislators wrapped up the 89th session last week, passing more than 1,200 bills — 800 of which were sent to Gov. Greg Abbott in the last 10 days of the session, The Dallas Morning News reported.

Abbott has until June 22 to approve those that have not been signed, including the next two-year state budget. While the governor does not have the power to veto the entire $338-billion budget, he does have line-item veto power over individual portions of it.
