The Republican Party of Texas has gotten behind several measures designed to punish Democrat House members who fled the state to prevent a quorum in the special session.
The party says it supports the following measures:
1. Removing quorum breaking Democrats as Committee Chairs.
2. Amend the rules to automatically revoke committee chairmanships of any member with 15 or more unexcused absences.
3. Enforce a call of the House and arrest absent members if quorum is not maintained.
Matt Rinaldi, Chairman of the Texas Republican Party said “Democrats have played this childish political charade for far too long. Now that House Republicans have the power of a quorum they should vote immediately to remove Democrat Committee Chairs and take action to maintain a quorum in the future."
