SR 706 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, S.B. No. 650.

Texas Senate Resolution 706 suspends specific Senate rules to allow a conference committee to revise Senate Bill 650. The resolution enables the committee to remove a section requiring package stores selling alcohol for off-premises consumption to visually inspect and access electronically readable information (like driver's licenses) when verifying a customer's age. This change streamlines the age verification process by eliminating the specific language about "electronic readable information" in the bill. The resolution directly affects package store permit holders in Texas, modifying how they must verify customer age during alcohol sales.
