Dan Patrick directs Texas Senate to study ways to further ingrain religion into public life
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has directed state lawmakers to explore ways to integrate religion more deeply into public life. Among the interim charges, senators are tasked with comparing state and federal laws on religious liberty, assessing the need for additional protections, and educating Texans about their rights to practice religion in various settings such as education and healthcare. Additionally, lawmakers will review a 2025 law that allows public schools to excuse absences for religious instruction. These directives are part of Patrick's broader agenda, which includes addressing issues like online ticket sales and child custody proceedings.
