LEGISLATIVE UPDATE FROM STATE REPRESENTATIVE ERNEST BAILES |
|
Some of the bills to be addressed by the 87th Texas Legislature in 2021. |
|
Protect Private Property Rights
HB 448 provides a way for private property owners to file complaints when the power of eminent domain is misused. Eminent domain should never be used as a threat, and those who misuse this authority should be held accountable.
Prevent Tax Assessments from Charging More Than 3 Years Back
Currently, appraisers may go back up to 5 years on the appraisal roll, charging property owners back taxes. This legislation would limit this from 5 to only 3 years.
|
|
Prevent Financial Abuse of Elderly Adults
This legislation guarantees seniors would be informed of options available when making changes to a life insurance policy, in order to prevent financial loss.
Promote Career and Technical Education
Our CTE certifications for students are essential in preparing them for life after high school. We want to ensure the certifications available to students align with the needs of our growing and changing Texas workforce.

Save money on payment processing and contribute funds to the Chamber with Clearent Payment Solutions.
When a business, referred by a Chamber member, converts their payment processing to Clearent, the company (Clearent) will pay a percentage of that businesses' processing cost to the Liberty-Dayton Area Chamber. The business will be saving money and at the same time, the Chamber will be adding revenue. This is at no cost to the business owner (and a lower percentage rate).
To make a referral:
Send e-mail to alandry@clearent.com with the business and contact's name, phone number or e-mail. In the subject line, state "LDACC referral". That is all that is needed. Once approved, the Chamber begins increasing revenue. In addition, Clearent will provide a free terminal to each referral. They will get next day funding and an online tracking portal. Please direct questions to Andrew J. Landry at 832.322.6948.
